NYE

Chris is working Winterfest this year. Clay snapped that pic of him last night before things got really crowded. Can't beat working it & getting to be there for BOTH nights of the activities & right down front too! And yep....kind of very spur-of-the-moment Clay & Jon ended up going...both last night & tonight. There really wasn't anyone there that Ashley was overly thrilled about seeing so she opted to stay home. She said if it had been Toby Mac, then that would've been a different story. Some of the artists they've heard are Family Force 5, Third Day, Hawk Nelson & Newsboys (with Michael Tate) will be ringing the New Year in from 11pm-midnight.

Today is Anna's 9th birthday......so we met them along with Maw, Mari & Katelyn today at Pizza Hut for some birthday lunch. Her party is going to be NEXT Saturday. Above, she's opening her cool back pack/sleeping bag combo that she had been wanting. Now she's all set for her visits to NC to see Grammy & Poppy.

Poor Daniel...he was the only boy there today amongst a whole bunch of us girls! He did NOT want to get in the picture with the girls, although I tried. So, this is the shot I got instead. Such a BOY! ;-)

After a yummy lunch, Ashley & I went on to run some errands & get our groceries. Just had to check out Target & a few others to see what kind of after-Christmas deals I might find. Didn't come home with too awful much.....just some wrapping paper from Target. One roll for .63 & 3 other bigger rolls for $1.25 each. I'm all set for NEXT year now. And I was most pleased to find my new slippers! Just thought I'd post a picture here for Sandee.....since she was asking if I got any new slippers....so, yes ma'am, I did! ;-) Ran by Mickey D's on our way home this evening......I had promised Alli & Michael that I get them a treat for supper. So, now here we are cozied up in our jammies, by the woodstove, getting ready to watch a movie & ring in the New Year.
