Happy New Year!

This is how we PARTY! We all meet over at the kitchen at 10:30 PM, eat food, play games, and kick off midnight with some fireworks and wake all the other people that are sleeping.

Cecelia, there in the background behind the counter provides the sparkling cider, that we use to toast in the new year.

Around 7:30 that night I was seriously wondering if I'd make it to the late night party...but, I persevered by watching Lifetime movies to keep myself awake.

Here are some of my family members playing Boggle....and Ben is the world champ at that game. Seriously.

Even my 92 yr old grandpa makes it out to the festivities....he's looking rather mountainman-ish these days.

Aidan was enjoying himself too, of course, people and food. His two favorite things.

Here are some of the goodies.
Mmmm, mmmm, pretzels and cheese. I'm pretty sure I gained 10lbs last night.

Hope everyone had a good time last night and Happy New Year to everyone!

Shawn, Late Merry Christmas and Happy Frickin New Year!

This is Cary. Here is a video for your viewing pleasure! The last video we took for Christmas sucked because it was way to dark. This one still sucks but I simply don't care. It's something! My skills on the video camera and in the technology department really need help. Anywho, Happy Frickin New Year PUTZ!!!!

Horse, Walk, Cold

So today wasn't nearly as warm as yesterday...

But Aidan still insisted that we go outside.

So we went to visit Cash, the horse.

Cash is new to this pen and he's still trying to figure everything out.

Even the kitty came over to see what was going on.

Warm Winter Day

This is what happens when you have the first warm, dry day in the middle of winter...

Everyone seems to think that their cars are dirty

and today it got up in the 50's, providing the perfect opportunity to get the vehicles wet.

It's a phenomenon.

Although it makes one long for Spring already!

Little Helper

I haven't had pictures of Aidan for awhile.

He's been pretty busy lately...

He's quite the help these days too...

Grandpa

My Grandpa
The 92 yr old out shoveling the snow and ice off of the sidewalks

Makes a person feel guilty....but he wouldn't have it any other way.

Hayden Audra

My cousin Rachel had her baby! Hayden Audra made her appearance into the world on December 24, and she weighed 7 pds 2 oz.

Umm..yeah, the pictures got cut off but if you click on the picture it will show you the full size. :-)
