Lot of New Year Fun!

Happy New Year Everybody! Can you believe it's 2012 already?

We celebrated the turning of the year by all going out for a family dinner to our favorite local seafood restaurant for appetizers, dessert, and drinks. It was delish.

On January 8th, we celebrated Elvis's Birthday by playing music, watching Jail House Rock, and baking Hunkka Love Chunk cookies. The next day, I went out dancing in my blue suede boots and my mini dress. And to complete the Elvis trifecta, I went with a group of fellow writers out to see the Northwest Elvis impersonators' competition at the EMP last night. There were a whole lot of Elvi. It was fun!

David and Alex spent yesterday morning, planting nearly 700 trees along a stream bank as part of a restoration project. During that time, it rained, hailed, sleeted, and snowed. They looked like drown rats upon their return.

Today, the snow came down! We had a good three inches up on our hill. Anni enjoyed a ride on the sled before Alex, Ari, and I swiped it to go to the grocery store. It was a 4 mile round trip, lots of healthy exercise!

A cold day in the neighborhood; just right for soup, sandwiches, and fresh baked cookies.
