Happy 2012

We seem to be setting some new traditions for New Year's Eve.  For the past three years Uncle Billy and Patti have driven here and spent some time with us from the day after Christmas to New Year's Day.  Each year Travis has actually made it up to midnight.  Connor tried this year, but I think spending the day at the zoo just wore him out! He was in bed by 9:30 that night.  Maybe next year.  Part of our tradition has been to make some homemade pizzas. They always turn out delicious. Here are two of our chefs busy at work.
I had big plans for some great pictures for next year's calendar with these cute glasses and horns I picked up at Wal-Mart.  I still need to work on getting one of the boys together. This is  Travis getting ready to head outside.
Daryle bought a few fireworks. Travis loves "helping" with them. Thankfully he is still a little nervous about them (probably because I am super paranoid!) so he stands back at a safe distance..

 This one got a little crazy at the end.. Travis tripped backwards over a bush in the front yard.  It was pretty funny! I thought the picture turned out kind of cool. 
In the morning Connor woke up and found the horns and glasses.  He loved tooting that little horn all around the house. We had to send him into the backyard with that.  Our sincere apologies to the neighbors.

We had a wonderful time ringing in the new year.  Happy New Year to you, may it be full of many blessings!
