Clay Birds, Ice Skating & New Years

The day after Christmas all of Andy's family that was in town went out and had a big skeet shooting contest. It was so much fun. We played this awesome game and it kept us all entertained for a few hours. By the time we were done we had gotten everyone to take a turn shooting at the pigeon, even Andy's mom took a turn.

After we were all 'shot' with the shooting, we headed down to the pond to go ice skating.

Even Dodger was able to get in some action on the ice.

The next week for New Year's we all headed over to Francom's for a big party. Dodger had gone to sleep early, but the older kids found the noise makers and that was the end of his sleep. So he ended up staying up to ring in his first New Year's.

Don't they look so happy?!


New Year's day Andy's parents invited pretty much the whole neighborhood and all of the cousins over to their house for breakfast. It was so nice of them and so yummy.
