Happy New Year!

 We had a lovely time ringing in the New Year with Grandpa in town. It was a fun little celebration and we have continued to be somewhat early to bed, some day our kids will stay up til midnight...

New Year's Eve

We had a busy and fun New Year's Eve.

Started out with smoothies - a family favorite.

Then we headed up to visit Great GrandmaAleen

Then we enjoyed some fun snacky dinner food

The kids were making Papa artisan chips with berries, he of course ate them.

We tried watching the ball drop at 9 but unfortunately they weren't showing it live so we missed it.

Waiting to see the ball drop, then the kids were off to bed and the adults weren't far behind.

 

 

 Kate loved the reindeer thing at Great-Grandmas. She also loves to see the pics or movies you take, so if she sees you have taken one she immediately says see, see.

 

New Years Eve

We had a wonderful visit with Granny and Papa but illnesses kept us pretty mellow.  So we rang in the New Year with the kiddos at about 7:20 watching fireworks from Dubai, dancing around during our 3 minute countdown and clinking our sparkling cider.  Happy New Year!!  

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!  We again enjoyed a very low key New Year's Eve celebrated with friends early in the evening.  We watched some fire works on the tv at sevenish and called it a night!

FOOTBALL!! Jaydon really loves football, he watches it, plays it, talks about it!  Here we were watching the rose bowl.

Higgins was thrilled to have us home from our many travels.

Playing with some of the new toys from christmas.  Jaydon got this cool magnet mosaic set from Auntie and Uncle!  The kids really do play pretty well together - here they both had a fabulous time making a big mess with all of Jaydon's toys and animals in his room.
