A new year! Wow! I haven't made any New Year's resolutions simply because I haven't had any time to think about them!
We had a terrific Christmas both in SoCal and in Washington. The kids even told the flight attendant that they were having THREE Christmases - are they spoiled or what?!?!
One of the things the kids asked Santa for was "to watch snow fall from the sky". He pulled that one off - unbelievable guy Santa Claus! Not only did we get to watch it snow at Brinnon for an entire day but we also were able to sled in it too! It was perfect. I'll be posting some photos once I get my new PC up and running.
New PC you might say?!?!? That's right some girls want jewels for Christmas, not me. I wanted (and needed) a new computer and Kevin definitely delivered! The 24" monitor alone is impressive!!
Isn't she a beauty?
Of course Kevin made out quite well with St. Nicholas. His partner's surprised him with his dream mountain bike. It's quite impressive and he's been enjoying riding it.

Now doesn't that sound impressive? I'm afraid I don't understand the bike "lingo" but what I do know is that it is SUPER light (I can pick it up with one hand) and it looks like the cousin of the one already in the garage.
Of course it just gets better... The kids asked for AND got a Wii for Christmas! Santa delivered it to Grandma & Grandpa's house so everyone had a chance to play it.
What a great invention. Now Delaney can bowl and sing/dance (High School Musical & Hannah Montana) to her hearts content. Collin can master Mario Galaxy and very shortly Guitar Hero III will be entering the picture for Kevin. He will be in training for next summer's guitar challenge with Luke.
