It's been nice to have this week off of work. We've been able to get a lot of little things done around the house, run some errands, and accomplish some other "to-do's" that we just never seem to get around to. One of those was going up to Placerville to visit G'ma Thueson. We don't see her that often and its hard for her to come this far out to see us. So we drove up, had a great visit, went to McDonalds, and had some G'ma T famous milkshakes. A couple of my cousins were in town with their families so we got a chance to visit with them a little as well. So here's a pic of G'ma and 3 of her many great-grandchildren
Other than that, our New Year's was uneventful - Shirley and Dave and their families bailed on us. But its actually better that way - they were both sick with a nasty stomach bug and we really didn't need that shared with us. But it was a bummer, we were looking forward to hanging out. So we were just at home as our own little family. Thankfully for satellite TV, we showed the kids the ball dropping in NY at 9pm and for all they knew that was ringing in the new year so then they went to bed, =) ingenious, I know. Steph and I lasted until about 11pm and not seeing the point of staying up any longer, we just went to bed. Yes, we are so un-cool, but what can I say, we're getting old.

Hey! YOU told us not to come :) We were bummed about it too. That must have been fun vivisting Gma T.
yeah, that's right! Wes told me not to come! :) Chris was super bummed. We were mostly fine by Tuesday night and the girls still haven't caught it.
That's ok, we'll have to figure out another day soon to hang out, stay up way too late, and eat junk food!
And showing the kids the ball drop early is genius!

I love the idea of showing the kids the ball dropping early! So nice!
