Happy New Year!

We had our traditional prime rib and shrimp dinner/family Christmas party tonight.  We couldn't all get together closer to Christmas so we opted for New Year's instead.  I was sad Wayne's whole family wasn't there.  The kids had fun opening their gifts they got for each other. I always feel bad for them though because we don't let them open them because any gifts that do get open usually end up broken or parts are lost within 5 minutes. It's just hard when you have about 10 rambunctious kids and pile of new toys to play with.  We ate and ate all day played and played all night.  After an intense game of Ticket to Ride we made it to 11:45 so it wasn't hard to stay up until midnight.  I don't think I've done that for over 10 years!  Wow.
