New Years Day.

Can you believe it's 2011?!

Yayyy!! A whole fresh new year! It's been pretty good so far ;)

New Years Day we broke our normal new years day routine of sleeping

until we can't sleep anymore and then watching movies literally ALL day

and the only people we see are the ones that come to our house...

Mourey and Marge invited us to visit them! Mourey made us some

wonderful pancakes! Sourdough! I didn't think that sounded like it would make

very good pancakes but I was wrong!

We had our late breakfast and then...

Lauren called!! So we got to talk with her and Wolfgang!

And that turned into a Skype session! :)
So we got to "see" them too!

But we couldn't get the speakers to work so they called and we used Skype

to see each other and speakerphone to hear.

Ingenious!

We were all in the little computer room crunched in close so we could all

fit into the computer cameras 'eye'.

Who would have ever thought that the first day of January would look like this!?

Looks can be deceiving though... It was really cold out!!
Our 1 1/2 ft. of snow was gone though thanks to Aunt T who had been praying

f0r 60's for New Years Eve (the day of her son's wedding). Wouldn't you know,

Thursday it was like 45 degrees, Friday (wedding day) was like 58!!! And after the

wedding the temperature started dropping. By the evening it was in the 40's, and by

midnight it was 30's. New Years Day dawned bright, sunny, and freezing!!

Really windy and it didn't even break 20!

Back to winter! It looked really warm anyway!

Dad brought along his new birthday game, Jenga!
It was funny watching them play! Good friends, coffee, lots of talking, it was a nice relaxing day!
