NEW YEAR’S EVE

Family

We were all in town all day New Year’s Eve doing year end shopping for the business. Sometime in the mid afternoon one of our friends, Kim, called on her way home from Denver to say she had talked to another one of our friends and they both decided to come out to our house for NYE (LOL). That was fine with me except I warned them we had all been gone since early that morning and I didn’t have a single thing prepared for dinner or snacking. They said not to worry – they would bring everything. I barely beat them here by about 10 minutes.

They all stayed awake until midnight, but about 11:00 Nathan had had enough. He’s being comforted by Emily.

The kids had the best time playing that game in Indiana over Christmas. What a fun night with friends and family to ring in the New Year!

SEQUENCE

Nathan, Tim, and I played a lively game of Sequence this evening.  I should have won the first round, but SOMEONE had to open up their mouth and let on to someone else my strategy which was to win 2 sequences with one last chip!  That play fell through and …
