Happy New Years!

Happy New Years! It has been an annoying couple of days due to (still) no hot water and Werner's car is (still) broken and our whole family is (still) sick. But we're trying to keep perspective, knowing that things could be a LOT worse.

Rand and Ella and I had a very pleasant New Year's Eve....we made hot chocolate and played Candyland and a new Thomas game that Rand got for Christmas. Then we all snuggled in bed and watched the ball drop and pretended like it was midnight instead of 10pm. I told Rand, "Happy New Years!" and he said, "Why, thank you!"

This morning we made banana pancakes with sausage and whipped cream, watched the Rose Parade, then went to the train park for the day. We are very blessed with our wonderful family and friends and wish everyone a Happy New Year!
