Happy New Year!

Darryl's sister Wendy has been working in Heber and staying at our house during the Christmas break. It has been so much fun to have her here. I know she felt like I was waiting on her hand and foot and she was mooching off us, but she played and played with the boys-- If you have kids you know that I couldn't have asked for anything more from her. For New Years Eve we had our favorite pizza from a great little place in Midway and I got a special little something-- party poppers that advertised a toy, a hat, and a comment for the new year. Well the party poppers were a waste of $6. The toy was the size of the tip of my thumb, the hat was a create paper crown, the comment was a dry joke, and the pop-- well it didn't. In fact you had to tear it apart to get the stuff out of it. I guess we at least got a laugh out of how disappointing they were. Kade still talks about them too, so in his mind they were neat. We had a pizza 'picnic' on blankets and watched Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat. The local community theatre is doing that play this spring and Darryl is trying out. There a couple plays he'd love to do and that was one of them-- Good luck Love! That was about it for our New Years. We typically don't have a super festive night. One day we'll have game nights and play until 2:00 AM like my mom and dad. :)
