the rest of Dec 2012/New Years 2013

it was nice to get home and have a few days to relax before we went again!!!

Thomas uses his new table (except it's a lap tray for the vehicle!)

New Year's Eve day, we headed down to Lee & Dana's and then onto J&J Petersen's for a New Year's bash... was lots of fun! We stayed at TJ&A Petersen's overnight! Thomas almost made it to midnight, but not quite!

playing with Carter was lots of fun!

 

making himself at home!

and loved playing with Pat C.

playing Qwirkle...our new favorite game!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! Wishing you all the best in 2013!!!!
