Welcome the new year

This year on New Years we did something a little different. Eric's roommate decided we needed to take a party bus so Eric and I, along with some of our good buddies and about 20 others got to ride around on this bus for the evening. It was a fun time, and I even got to see the Plaza Christmas lights for the first time! We let off a group of people at Power and Light but Eric and I and our close friends decided to stay on the bus. It was fun to have it all to our selves and bring in the New Year together! Here's Eric and I!

Christmas pictures...I know...

This year I was scheduled to work on Christmas Eve which kind of threw are traditional plans for a loop. As an added bonus, we got a nice little snow storm that night that even further hindered our plans. We were able to spend Christmas morning with my family and after the roads got cleared we headed back to Clay Center. Here's Eric with his new ear muffs! Many of you probably have heard the story about how dad has always wanted a little bag of diamonds like you see on TV. This year, a friend who works at a jewelry store was nice enough to give us a couple of broken diamonds along with some of the fake ones that are scattered in their display cases. Dad was so excited to see his surprise!
