bringing in the new year

Daniel bought a grill with the money his parents gave him for Christmas. We set it up New Years Eve afternoon so that we could fire it up with our friends for a New Year's dinner. On the menu:

-grilled 'bring-your-own-meat'-
-grilled vege kabobs-
-chips & salsa-
-birthday cake-

Caleb celebrated number 26 on December 30, so what's a birthday without a 2-day-belated-birthday-cake?!!!

We celebrated the new year with good friends - our 2nd annual celebration with these folks! We played a game that was introduced to us last Christmas by the Audis - Settlers of Catan. If you have a spare several hours and a competitive group of friends, you'll love this game. We highly recommend it - but be careful, it's addicting! We had to set an alarm so we could watch the NYC ball drop at 11 p.m. our time. We set another alarm to officially celebrate the New Year at midnight again!

Actually, Caleb turned 26 but maybe he's gotten to that point where going backwards is better! ;)
