Happy New Year 2011, Friends and Family! Here are some pictures of what we've been up to the last month!
Here are the Boys playing in the snow up by the cabin just before Christmas. The snow didn't last long so they had to hurry to build a snowman! 
These are cakeballs! I probably made 50 dozen of the darn things the month of December! Many friends and coworkers put their orders in and I dipped and dipped and dipped away!
We made some special food to attract Santa's reindeer! It consisted of oatmeal, sprinkles, glitter, and popcorn kernels! The boys sprinkled it in the front yard so the reindeer could find us and of course have a snack while Santa was doing his duty!
We went on our annual Christmas light tour around the neighborhood Christmas Eve. This house we stopped at was amazing! The entire garage was set up with a village of miniature houses, actually an entire town. I can't imagine the work that was put into this. It was really awesome!
And while we were out looking at lights, Santa came! How come he comes while we are gone every year?
The boys were of course all smiles with Santa's loot!
One of the "hits" of Christmas presents were these Beyblades! All the boys love them and even Grandpa and Papa got a lesson on how to play them! For those of who are clueless as to what Beyblades are, they are little metal tops that have interchangeable parts. The boys use their own special strategy to build their Beyblade and then they battle in a plastic stadium. The last top spinning is the winner!
These giant candy canes Santa brought kept them busy for a couple days. I think even Toni got ahold of one at one point and enjoyed a few licks herself! Imagine that!
A couple days after Christmas, Arizona experienced some very cold weather. We are not used to multiple days of below 32 degrees at night! In fact, it got down to 22 degrees New Years Eve! It even snowed in the greater Phoenix area. We were not fortunate to actually see any of it but we were sure this funny looking cloud was a snow cloud!
And here we are bringing in the New Year with our neighbors! Usually we sit in the driveway and huddle around a nice warm fire. But this year it was a "No Burn Day" which means it's illegal to burn even wood outside in a firepit. So we had to celebrate inside and ended up having a few dart and pinball competitions! We sure love our neighbors!
