End-of-Year Crammin'

So, there was more of December to share with you so here are some out of order shots captured...not on film, but digitally. The boys took free ice skating lessons at North Park. All were very determined and improved each week in their own separate groups. Impressive!

Traveling north we entered the real "snow zone". The boys were excited to slide, build and throw snow. In fact, the head of the pictured snowman was actually thrown AT ME! For obvious reasons, I couldn't capture that "Kodak moment." Then, we attended my nephew's birthday party which was filled with lots of inflatable, jumpin' fun had by all.

On Christmas Eve, there was a birthday party for baby Jesus in between our church services. This was a nice way to prepare for the big day filled with lots of giving and pleasant surprises - us not getting or being sick being one of those gifts we haven't had for a couple of years now.

The next day, we met up with some friends that had moved to WV/VA six months ago. It was nice to see them all and catch up again. Hopefully we'll get to take a roadtrip down to and see their new home in the coming months.

Anyway, that's the scoop as we end 2007. Some bug ended up catching Jesse but he's doing better and so far so good for the rest of us. We've planned a low key celebration here at home tonight. Eric made a trip to ToysRUs to spend some of his gift cards and purchased a bundle of Yu Gi Oh cards which he kindly shared with his brother. Going through and playing with these keeps them cooperative and quiet which makes for a good evening for all! Best wishes for a HAPPY NEW 2008!!!
