Happy New Year!

Thanks Grandpa Martindale for the picture.

Look familiar?

That's cause it's a tradition.

I hope you see this next year, too
cause that means we were with family
blowing up gingerbread houses
and torching trees at midnight.

Among other things...
Cousins Briant, Owen, Max trying to stay awake...
watching a movie on Uncle Cole's papasan.





Gwen stayed home and missed out on the Babies of 2008 picture
(and yes I cropped myself out)
