For New Years Eve we always go to my Dad & Mom's
for an evening of fun, food and laughter!
This year was no different. Kem, Lin & Rah were here
and Mike came down. We played games, ate fabulous food,
and of course laughed!
Kem made flaming crepes, or gizies or yolks, if you are my dad!
Sooo good, and fun to watch! Thanks Kem!!
At the stroke of midnight I got a New Years Kiss that Dave
tried to capture on camera, but I am not patient enough to
wait for the flash. A great way to spend the night.
Surrounded by family!
On the way home, trying to keep the kids awake, Jax was
the only one who didn't make it home awake, I asked
the boys what resolutions or goals they would like to make.
After explaining what I meant, and telling them mine, which are
get back into shape, get running, lose a bit of weight, go
to church every week, on and on and on. I asked Dave
what his were...to lose weight! That's it. He's not like me,
and wants to change everything, well not everything, but he works
on one thing at a time. Maybe I should try that, but I would get bored!
The boys were thinking about what they would make their goals, when
Ethan piped up "mom, sometimes I lie, so I want to be nicer to
you and dad!" Perfect goal I reply.
Cody says "I want Ethan to stop being so mean to me." I tell
him that this goal should be something YOU want to change.
He tries again, "I want Ethan to not tattle so much!"
Again, I tell him it is something he should change.
He tries a third time, starts like this "Ethan" I stop him,
once again tell him to think of something HE can do.
So he says he'll have to think about it.
I don't think he quite gets it.
That kid is so funny! I wish I was that good, and
had no resolutions!!
This year is going to be a GREAT year!!
Chef Kem
It was pretty cool
Mike protecting his cheeks!!
I don't know why!
She LOVES having her picture taken!
He was ready for bed!
Eman & Brayden
What a good Uncle. Mitchel had a bloody nose,
so Kem put a tissue up his nose so Mitchel
wouldn't feel so bad.
Soo ready for bed!!
The camera is slow!
Makin' some noise
At least I got a little smile out of him.
Happy New Year!!
