new year's eve 2013

I've given up hope of retrieving my Christmas 2013 pictures. They are stuck somewhere in file-not- supported limbo.  The kids and I had a lovely New Year's eve together. Homemade pizza has made a comeback around here.                

 

Our generous neighbors moved out the week before New Year's and we inherited the contents of their kitchen cupboard and refrigerator.  Nothing inspires a pizza like feta cheese, pesto, artichoke hearts, balsamic vinegar.

Kyle brought his record player and folk music records upstairs and played D.J. until it was time to go out to the park at midnight.  We used the last of our fireworks leftover from July. It was a great start to the New Year.

happy new year

The week after Christmas I went back to cookie making.

Rob took most of the week off. We stayed home and played and cleaned and ate and cleaned, then played and cleaned, and ate some more. Tuesday we went to the Village mall to see the movie 2012 with the Carrillo family. It wasn't exactly a family film, but it was all they had in English. Anyway, the theatre is beautiful, empty on a Tuesday morning, and I love their sweet popcorn. We all had fun together, notwithstanding the disaster, destruction and end of the world.
Jack the cat found a favorite spot but was promptly removed.














New Year's Eve with the Sevy family and Carrillo family...movies, friends, food, fireworks...





Happy New Year!
