NYE

 

 We started off our holiday weekend with the UW v Alabama game.  It was a very exciting season the Dawgs went almost undefeated!  And they were ranked number four qualifying for the championship playoff game.  Todd and I have split season tickets with my parents over the last few seasons, so we have been able to witness the rise and return of the Purple Reign.  

The J boys made elephant ears

 

Since Alabama's mascot is the elephant, the Todd and the boys had an idea.  We could make elephant ears - and eat up our opponent. The boys found a recipe, had a practice day, and served them up on game day.  They were delicious!!!

Unfortunately the Huskies lost, but not without great effort.  They went up against the #1 ranked team and last years National Champion.  We didn't have any plans for ringing in New Years.  We were recovering from a quick trip to California and the a nasty flu/cold.  Instead we ordered take out from the local Mexican restaurant and watched Little Mermaid.  I'm not sure I even want to admit this, but both Todd and I fell asleep on the couch, and turned into bed before midnight...  Oh well... there's always next year. 

Watching from her tent

The next day, HS friends graciously hosted a brunch and time for us to hangout.  M and her friend are 6 weeks apart, and now are interacting and playing with each other.  It was fun watching them run and laugh together.   Can't wait for more fun times over the years.

 Unfortunately with this many littles, we weren't able to capture a picture with everyone looking at the camera, but they still are too cute not to share.

 

Happy New Year's to you and yours.  Wishing 2017 is off to a wonderful start.
