Happy New Year people! Can you believe we're a week into 2008 already? Ben keeps telling me to blog more - that it doesn't matter if I have anything profound to say or that I don't have a darling scrapbook page like my nieces, so...I'll try. We'll see what happens.

We had a wonderful Christmas holiday, as usual - loving everything about it and hating for it to end. I don't think I've ever had such protesting as I did this year when it was time to take all the decorations down! It had to be done though, right?

We had about 8 people over for New Year's Eve. We had way too much food and we played the Wii all night! I know...like one of the twins' friends said to me when he heard me and another 'old' person talking about the games... he said 'This isn't right - old people shouldn't talk about nintendo games, let alone PLAY them!' My friend Kathleen, even went home with a Wii injury to her hand from bowling - she hit the coffee table!

Here's a couple pictures from when we went to the beach in November with Joel/family and with Dad and Linda. The kid you don't recognize is Logan's friend. There's Grandpa and Logan in their baseball hat going to church, the fake fall off the top of the sand dunes at Pacific City (you gotta love that) and Grandpa and Rachel playing Mario Cart. It was a fun weekend!

We hope this new year brings happiness and contentment, and I truly mean that with all my heart.
