2011

Happy New Year!! We had such a great New Years Eve!! We started off with going ice skating!! There is a rink here in Cleveland that is outside and is free. You just have to rent the skates. It is a synthetic rink, which means that the ice is not real, it is actually just some type of boards that click together to make a rink. To say that it was interesting is an understatement! It was very hard to ice skate on, but it was still alot of fun!! Geoff and I had a good time, and Macie loved it. We are now thinking of putting her in ice skating lessons to see how she does. Here are some pics...

Then later, the Welch's came over and we had a little party for the kids. They got to run around in their pj's and play horns and noisy toys and march around in a parade.Here are the kids doing their noise parade!Outside ringing in the London New year!! (We counted down to the London New Year for the kids! They loved it!!)Doing some silly string!And some bubbles!The Welch'sOur first family picture of 2011!! (technically it is our last family picture of 2010, but hey, now it can be both!)

Then Later, after the kids were sleeping, we threw a little adult party. It was way fun and was a great way to ring in the new year!

Happy 2011!! We are excited to see what this year has in store for us! There are sure to be many big changes, but we are ready and can't wait to see what they are!
