Christmas and New Years have come and gone. I got a few good pictures (and lots of bad ones), a ton of good times, and lots of memories.


But lets start with pictures! The bad ones are my favorite. They show the real 'us'. The posed pictures always seem so formal. We are in NO WAY a formal family. It is more natural to have a picture of Sid and Ains figithing about who is going to sit where. Or a pic of Sid and Ryan with Chandler trying to get in on the action also!


Well, now that we got the bad ones out of the way, how about a couple of good ones...

Joe and I always go out on New Years Eve. This yeah though, we decided it would be nice to stay home, eat snacks, and play games with Mom and Ainsley. It was so nice to not have to go out in the cold or drive anywhere. Maybe this will become our new tradition! Of course, the dogs were there to ring in the new year also. Ross especially enjoyed playing cards with us!

He DID NOT like wearing the party hat though!

So, we left the hat to Ainsley. She liked it!
