Well, we have been back to school for two days and one of those days was a two hour delay. It is now Wed. and we are home again b/c of weather. It snowed again early this morning and apparently it will turn into freezing rain and ice as the day progresses. "They" weren't kidding when "they" said this winter was going to be a bad one. So far the predictions have been correct.
Back to New Years. We had a wonderful New Year's Eve with our friends Jim, Leslie and Luke. They came up from Boston for the night and we ate so much food. We had cheese, meat and chocolate fondue. What a blast that was and the food was awesome. The girls had so much fun and ate everything. We had one rule according to Uncle Jamie, if you lose your food in the pot it is any one's game. So we had a lot of stealing of food. Callie said, Uncle Jamie is a meat stealer!! I am still cleaning up grease and chocolate in places I never imagined in the kitchen. We all made it to midnight except Luke. He was a trouper though. So cute and into the whole scene! Here are some pictures of that night.

Adorable, smiling Luke!

The girls drank sparkling juice and so enjoyed the whole New Year's celebration!!
It was great to spend our new years with the Waltons. We are so lucky to have them near us for awhile. Thanks guys for a GREAT time!!
New Year's day we enjoyed yet another big meal at breakfast. I can't believe how much I ate over the break.
We had a wonderful Christmas break. We even got a day of skiing in. Thank you Noel and Debbie for our wonderful ski rack for our car. We did a lot of cleaning and throwing away in the basement and play room. We are now in the middle of fixing up the walls in the play room. We have torn down wallpaper, spackled, sanded and more spackle and more sanding yet to be done. Then we will be ready to paint. I can't believe we still have wallpaper yet to be taken down but we are getting there. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Friday night we start ski club. So the next five Fridays will be filled with skiing!! The girls are excited. I leave you now with a funny picture of Roscoe. I believe he thinks he is human. He sat like that for a long time while I snapped picture after picture. Crazy cat!!
