2013

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We celebrated at home with lots of fruit-themed games (fruit basket, balance an apple on top of your head, fruit ninja, peeling the clementines the fastest, etc).  We also watched the movie 2012 about the end of the world.  Thank goodness the New Year came!









In the morning we tried a new activity... ice skating!  The kids had a fun falling and learning how to skate.  Leslie didn't enjoy it much, so she held Gideon after his first time around (in a baby carrier).  Evelyn and Reuben held onto Mom and Dad (what a workout!) and Jonas, Owen, Troy, and Micah were amazing skaters!  When they fell, they just laughed it off and kept trying.  It was impressive, and a good reminder of how to live our lives:
Do your best and keep trying!








Tired kids...

Next time try a relay race holding an orange between your knees and a quarter in one eye - now that is funny.
It is great to celebrate the new year with family. It sounds and looks like you all had a blast.
