Happy New Year!

Our little family spent the New Year's weekend in Michigan with the Ben Horn family. They threw a big shindig of games and food with a few other families. Divided into teams, we had indoor basketball and volleyball competitions. Unfortunately, my team did poorly in the competitions but we sure had a fun time playing. I'm trying to persuade Diane to do some word games for next year's soiree. Then my team will reign supreme! Here's a picture of my team (Whiplash) trying to fend off Paige's team (Angels).















Wouldn't an all night Scrabble marathon be a blast? Or a crossword competition? How about a limerick writing contest? I fear my somewhat athletic family will overrule my input. I suppose they're just afraid of my domination in such word nerd events. Oh well. Here are a few more photos of our weekend:















Daddy and Chloe. She stayed up late to enjoy the New Year's activity.

So, what did you and your family do to ring in the new year? Am I the only one who feels old now that it's 2006? It doesn't help that I'm turning 28 this month. Yikes!

Here's to a blessed, healthy, peaceful, and safe 2006!
