Happy New Year!!

The boys and I made new years hats. Jonathan wanted his name, so I wrote their names in glue and drew a little picture of whatever they wanted. Jonathan wanted  a transformer (he is really into transformers; even though he's never seen a show or movie of them. He is always talking about Autobots and Decepticons.I got a couple of books from the library for him, and he loves them! He also always gets Superman books.)  David wanted Gordon from Thomas and Friends, and Jonathan said that Daddy wanted a count down. Jonathan and David did their own glitter. It was a crazy mess, but fun!

Jonathan didn't like having the elastic under his chin, so he just balanced it on his head. He was trying to tell me about it while I was taking the picture. Caleb was ready for bed, so I just wanted a picture, but we all had to stop and listen to Jonathan. He is always frowning like that. I feel like I have to say, "Smile, Jonathan!" or sing the "If you chance to see a frown" song.

We drank from plastic champagne glasses and ate chocolates. I also got some noise makers. The boys loved tooting their horns. Edmund found a four minute countdown video on Netflix that played dancey music and had the lemurs from Madagascar dancing. The boys did a great job shaking their hips and jumping around. Very good little dancers.

 There are piles and piles of snow this year. We have a ten foot tall heap in the middle of the round part of our cul-de-sac. I've been too wimpy to go out and take a picture because it has been below zero for the past week. Edmund and I dated during a winter that had huge piles of snow. I remember driving down Poleline in Rexburg. It was like a luge. There were walls of snow 8-10 feet tall on either side of the road. Anyway, piles of snow make me remember how magical it was to fall in love. I'm so glad I did too. Thanks to my sweetie for the best 6.5 years of my life!
