Happy New Year

BE FOREWARNED!!!! THIS POST IS PHOTO HEAVY!!!!!

We spent New Years Eve with some friends of ours....The Hickmans.

Joe and Jim knew each other and worked together in San Diego...as a matter of fact, Nikki, Emmy and Jake went to the same preschool yet we didn't even know until just recently!!! Small world huh?!

Anyways....they moved up this way just over a year ago and we've been spending more and more time with them and this is where we spent our New Years Eve and New Years Day!!!

Here's Nikki with another friend's son, Anthony.

LOOK at how much shorter.......I mean, TALLER, Anthony is. She's SO petite.

Oh, and yes....that WOULD be a TANK top over top a hoodie.....weirdo. The girl can just make almost anything look good!!!

The kids playing Rock Band.

Emmy looks like such a pro doesn't she??

Bonnie bundled me ALL up to go snowmobiling. We had SO much FUN!!!!

I had SO many layers on I could barely walk but we had FUN!

So much fun I went out yesterday and bought a pair of snow pants that are MY SIZE, some wanna be Under Armour and a neck gaiter. I found THE NICEST pair of danners.......but they didn't have MY size!!! Grrrrrr

It's all good. I now have Joe on a mission.

Teeheehee........

Salvador
