For quite a few years we have gotten together with Bob's brother Tom and family to bring in the new year. We have kids close in age and it's been nice to be able to do this as a family. This year his brother Rog and family were going to come too, but Rog was sick so he stayed home. Jan and the boys came though. We started the night with a nice little supper of things like meatballs, cheesy potatoes, deviled eggs, cheese and crackers, veggies and dip... Needless to say, no one went hungry. After eating the kids headed off to the family room for some games.
We had this group playing card games.
Then there was this group playing video games.
When midnight approached we got ready for the ball to drop. In case you were wondering we are a classy group. Yes - those are plastic glasses with sparkling juice!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Tom
Heather and Alecia
Here is the whole group of cousins, after seeing the new year in. Shortly after midnight we all headed off to our beds.
This is the view from the parking lot at work. Isn't is pretty when the snow covers everything? I thought it was fitting for a new year - everything fresh and clean looking!

I had to work today and was greeted by snow. It had snowed during the night and was still snowing this morning.
This is the view from the parking lot at work. Isn't is pretty when the snow covers everything? I thought it was fitting for a new year - everything fresh and clean looking!This makes me think of the verse that says our sins will be as "white as snow". We don't have to wait for a new year to start over- God gives us a fresh start whenever we ask for forgiveness!
