Happy New Year!

Jake and his cousins, Tommy, Landon and Daniel

Jake and I were the only ones who were there to celebrate the New Year. Steph was sick, and Paul went to stay with her, and Kaylie was at another celebration.
Everyone loved playing "Rock Band."

Jason and Kristi's annual New Year's Eve party. They do it up right. This is the yummiest food we eat all year. This year it was held at Jenni's house.

It snowed so bad on Christmas Day, we wondered if we should cancel our Thomas Family Christmas Dinner. We were glad that we didn't . No one ended up getting stuck in the snow, or no mishaps because of the weather, and we all ended up having a good time. The picture is of Jake out snowblowing. Andrew's poor car is the one that has all the snow dumped on it.
Kaylie and her stash.
We made Jake take this picture before he could go down and play with his new X-box
Stephie and her Christmas bounty.
Our annual "sit-in-front-of- the-tree-and-take-a-picture-before-we-can-open-our-presents" picture. Someone seems to be noticeably missing this year:(
Here are Kaylie and Megan playing a fun duet. They planned the program for our Christmas Eve. Including Clayton giving an update on Sports, Marianne giving a celebrity update. Mom, me, Shelli and Jenni sang, Steph, Kaylie and Megan did an "interpretive dance, Jake did a headstand and Bob did a landing a helicopter demonstration. It was fun. Then we watched "Mr. Krueger's Christmas."
Jake reads the nativity story from the scriptures.
