New Year's Eve

We sure know how to party! (Don't we look just out of control? Heh heh.) We each had some sparkling cranberry juice in a disposable champagne glass and then said something we were thankful for in 2015 and something we're looking forward to in 2016.

Mommy: I'm thankful that Zaylia got to join our family. I am looking forward to paying off all our debt next year! Who wants to go next?

Vander: I do! I am thankful for Zaylia too. And I hope that we have a good year.

Annalee: I am thankful for the holidays, for how the holidays have gone. [Mostly, she and Vander have been playing Minecraft on the PS3 with reckless abandon.] And I'm looking forward to walking to school with my brother next year when he's in kindergarten. [Awww!]

Mommy: Bellana? Are you thankful for your family?
Bellana: Yeah. Family.

Mommy: Are you looking forward to preschool next year?

Bellana: Preschool.

The kids were in bed by 8:00 p.m.

When Nathan got home from work he toasted his glass to many things about this year, mostly family and being done with school. He is also looking forward to getting out of debt this year!

Who Are We?

We are a crazy-fun family and we're happy as long as we're together.

We say "Yea" to: dogs that don't shed, fantasy books, a clean kitchen, Dr. Mario, casual athletic activities, Love and Logic, capitalism, Sobe, singing in the shower, Hispanic food, time-outs (for kids and parents), cloth diapers, coupons, Jack-in-the-Box, Taco Time, Texas Roadhouse, Olive Garden, genealogy, seeing our extended family often, children who sleep in their own rooms, holding hands, on-line computer games, garage sales, Sunday dinners, love letters, home improvement projects, making a job go faster by doing it together, (appropriate) PDA, the annual BYU-I Halloween Concert, riding bikes, adoption, the temple, and Star Wars.

We say "Nay" to: government-run health care, putting each other down, nuts in baked goods, lawn flamingos and garden gnomes, cable tv, landline phone service, watching football or nearly any other sport (yawn), ridiculous email forwards that you know couldn't possibly be true, quack grass, dandelions, not cleaning up after your dog, gossip, allergies, and saving people (or companies) from the consequences of their own choices.

We agree to disagree on: illegal immigration, cheese, the right way to load the dishwasher, Japanimation, the proper length of a good haircut, cheesecake, the temperature, whether we should bring the dog camping next time, the color pink, whether a glass of chocolate milk counts as breakfast, Chuck-a-Rama, vitamins, and which of us is more fortunate to have found the other.
