Happy New Year!

We had a fun New Year's Eve with our family visiting for the holidays from California.  We went to dinner at Litza's Pizza (a restaurant that my family has been going since my parents were in college.) Then we just played games and visited with each other until midnight.  Everyone managed to stay awake for the countdown where we blew whistles and horns and drank apple cider.  We were all sound asleep by 12:15 though :)

We're ready for another year!

Merry Christmas

From our family to yours

Random December Fun

A meal big enough for a giant!

Christmas Vacation at the dollar theater? Yes please!

Look Mom! I brought a cow eyeball home from school that I dissected in science class today!

James's 1st Orchestra Concert

James got to start Viola lessons this year in school, and he had his 1st concert!  His school got a new music teacher who absolutely rocks (like all the rest of the teachers at his school...that we love :) I can't wait to see how he improves over the years while he's at that school. It's a k-8 school so 5 more years to go!

Christmas Tree!

We finally got our Christmas tree up!  After our move into our new house and our trip to Colorado, we were still unpacking boxes and didn't have any room for a tree!  Until now :)  Better late than never!

New House

We moved!  At our new house James gets to rake the leaves and mow the lawn...and he loves it!
