Mark started a new tradition this year-burning of the tree. The kids were a little nervous that their dad was pouring gas all over the tree and lighting it on fire. We have had some not so good burning experiences this year. They got over it quickly. It was fun to see the tree go up so quickly, instead of sitting in our forest for years.
Tosh, Ed and family all came up for New year's Eve. We set the clocks ahead two hours so the kids would think it was twelve, when it was really ten. They didn't know and were better off the next day. This our ten o'clock toast. We didn't film the twelve version. We had a great time with the Herrmann clan. They know how to party and play lots of pounce and other fun games. We ate too much food and laughed alot. The U game was also a great way to start the year.
Christmas joy! The kids had so much fun opening presents and hanging out all day playing with their toys. They are so excited about even the small things like whoopi cushions. Children really make Christmas fun. Kayden tried to steal my job of handing out the presents.
