HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!


New year blew in with a LOT of wind and snow this year but we managed to party with our friends, David and Paula and kids, before the severe weather started. It was a slow drive home though, and I had to pry my fingers off the stearing wheel once I pulled into the garage. Yikes. I was glad that was over. I don't enjoy driving in the best of times.
We had a wonderful time at David's. We arrived at 7pm and thought we'd leave around 10ish because we had the kids with us. We were still eating fondue at 10 and it was so much fun we just stayed. The snow started around 11:30 but we thought we'd survive 30 more minutes. Paula had New Year poppers, presents for everyone and fancy glasses of pop to toast the New Year in. It was a lot of fun.

To go backwards in time... we had a great Christmas too. Lots of goodies, food, and company. I've posted the Pakje Day pictures on my facebook page if you'd like to see them. It was a GREAT day!
Here's some pics of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day:

We hope you had a great Christmas too. From our house to yours, we wish you a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Yes, that was quite a storm we had. It changed a lot of peoples plans for New Years. It was nice to have the snow, but we could have done without the wind.
TTYL, Randall.
