Happy New Year!

Christmas was wonderful at our house. Santa was very good to us. Dad and Mom came and spent a week with us. We are so lucky to have them here. We all enjoy their company. I hated to see them go.I am posting a few family pictures. After the grand present opening, we had all of the Butcher family over for snacks and a party. The house seemed very full and very happy to have so many people come. I never would have been able to host such a party at the other house. I feel very blessed to have this big of an area upstairs to get everyone together. DH worked very hard to make it happen and it turned out great.  We also realized we needed a few things changed and added to make it more comfortable for next year.

   I caught the flu bug the day after my parents left for home. I stayed in bed for two days and then last night I felt like I shouldn't expose the family at the New Year's Party so I stayed home and watched the ball go down on the couch. ( I switched channels to the ball only for the few seconds before it dropped because the smut that was shown was so worldly......wow...)

   Today we loaded up the sleds and took the girls up the canyon to a golf course/tubing area. The girls fairly flew down the mountainside because it was pure ice. Two of the girl's took on air. DH will certainly be sore tomorrow.
    Here's praying that 2014 will be a good and productive year for our family!
