Nothing says "Happy New Year" like Dodgeball!

We were invited to a friendly dodgeball game in our old neighborhood.  It was a lot of fun, and a great way to kill a couple of those evening hours while waiting to go to a New Years party at the Campbells.  Happy New Year!!

Pickleball Battle

It was Al-Dave's last day in town, and we had an epic family pickleball tournament.  It was a beautiful day, and I think everyone had a blast learning the sport.  (on a side note, these are the courts that Rick was the engineer on...so they are sort of his baby, too)

Edward Paper Hands

Cru enjoyed his paper claws made by Tirsa after family dinner.

Christmas Card Door

We got a slow start on our door this year, but we ended up with a pretty good looking door...thanks to all of the good looking people we know.

Desert love

We went out to Warner Valley to spend some of the beautiful day in the desert sand.  I loved the snow and all, but it is nice to have our normal December weather back!

Hotdogs Roasting on an Open Fire

We went through two packages of hot dogs, but it was worth it.  The kids all had a great time roasting hot dogs and burning stuff.  We really need to get a barrier around the fire pit, though.  I was afraid the whole time that someone would run right into the fire.!

Christmas Morning

Ready, Set, Open!
