 New Years Eve sparkling juice, complete with the fanciest of cups from the dollar store and party crackers.  The kids and Robert made cookies that afternoon, I made a special chocolate mousse we picked from the cookbook that came with my new blender.  We had hot ham and cheese sammies and chips, and I think everyone was pretty happy.
 Each cracker/popper came with a special paper crown.  We used a fun countdown we found on Netflix, it had lots of dance music and then counted down from 10.  We all danced around like crazies, the kids loved it so we did it several times, and then sent them too bed at 8:30, which is late for them.
 The big snow/only snow we have had was melting and finally at the point where we could do snowmen and snowballs.  We took advantage quickly, now our front, South-facing lawn is grass covered again.
Noelle is still really into crafting. About once a week I get the right thing out that really occupies her while we get some work done.  She worked really hard on her perler bead creation. In other perler news we didn't know this big board exsisted until this Christmas when we saw a huge creation made by one of my cousins.  So if you are shopping Amazon and need a $10 item to get ya free shipping, I know a few girls who would put this to good use.
