and in comes 2009. . .

Happy New Year!
We had dinner at my parents and then a party at our house
 for about 20 of Alex's friends.
Syd was down the street at Gracie's and we all got together just before midnight for fireworks and the burning of our gingerbread house.  We went to the cabin with Crows and Mindy, Remy and Trevor New Years Day for some good times sledding and playing in the snow.  I feel so blessed entering this new year.  2008 was good to us - I only hope 2009 holds the same!  Time for resolutions and just all around trying a little harder to be a little better - bring it on!
Burn baby burn. . .  we all smelled like campfire afterward!
The Cabin in all the beautiful SNOW!!

Lizzie and her cute cousin Mindy

 Sydney and Makail
 We could not get the kids to come inside.  They were all drenched by the end of the day.  Too much sledding fun - I could not decide if it was the sledding or the ride up the mountain in the sled behind the snowmobile that made me feel broken for two days after!

Even Buddy got his snow fix running up and down the mountain with Crows cute blood hound Maggie.  They are funny dogs.  
Time to head back to reality. . .

I love the burning of the gingerbread house tradition! So fun! I think we'll skip that one around our house though, cause with richardsons around, the whole house might burn down! I'm so bummed we missed out on sledding, it looks like you guys really had a blast!
