New Years eve

I am always a month (or 2) behind. Get over it.

The highlight of the night for L was the sparkling cider.

We went to see the ICE exhibit in DC while there. It was pretty "cool" haha. Everything was made of ice.

If you can blow the above picture up, do it and look at E's expression. I was hysterical, like laughing so hard I was crying, hysterical.

We thought we'd tempt fate.

Mia and I. Or is it me and Mia?

Acting like a penguin......

Nativity made out of ice.

typos

I was just reading through some old posts and I realized how many typos there are and duplicate pictures and no links where links should have appeared. Dang, thanks for hanging in there with me, I will try and proofread some more :)

NOVA snow....

This is the view, in northern VA, from my parents front door. It looks like the astro van is mini! We only got a few inches of great snowball snow, which is now thankfully lovely slush. Slush is always good fun, especially when it freezes and you have to walk really slow so you don't wipe out.

Myrna

I forgot to post this article when I found it last week posted by another ward member on Facebook. It is about a beautiful sister in my ward, Myrna. She is always smiling and always positive and looking up. I'm so glad they did a story about her.

Nee Nee is published!

Isn't she purty?

My cute sister Lillian who recently turned 14 submitted some writing to a teen website and they put it on their site! I am so proud of her! It literally made me cry reading her stuff, it seems like she was just so little and now she is growing up.

Our New Years trip to DC

My dad came from DC to NY for business on the Monday after xmas and took E back with him that same night. We joined them on New Years eve day, which started off like this:

Oh cute! A couple of flakes, this should be fun while we wait for the bus! (and yes Can Man is holding a purse)

Uh Oh! Its getting heavier, now I will be really entertained and will even be super cute and laugh!

Aww crap, its gonna be a long day.

We're not going anywhere....for a loong time.

No worries, I'll just take a snooze. I'll even be really nice to my mom by sleeping on my arm and not be a dead weight in her arms for 3 hours....I'll save that for the ride home. (and he did)

Photo shoot with K dawg

My friend Karley, aka K dawg, did a photo shoot of L and I. She is a great photographer and always lovingly tells me when the picture turned out ugly and we need another :)

Totally unrelated, but another cute Karley pic.
