New Year's Day

On this New Year's Day only Peter had plans.
He was waking up super early for his 2nd
annual Rose Bowl. The kids and I
slept in but then decided to visit Knott's Berry Farm,
on Justin's suggestion. Once he realized
that we were going and that his dad wasn't going,
he changed his mind. But, Branden and I were
already set on going and made Justin come along.
He was happy he did.

Justin checking out the new ride Pony Express.
Hmm... I'm not sure, there's no seatbelts!

Justin and Amber in line for Sidewinder.
Another ride Justin has never been on.

conquering yet another ride.

Justin and Branden all wet after Big Foot Rapids.
At the end of the day Justin was proud of himself for
trying 3 new rides and I was too. After all the fussing
he left there a new man. Let's see what he tries
the next time.

New Year's Eve

At the stroke of midnight came the New Year
and just like that the kids ran outside with
pots, pans, spoons, and streamers.
It was so foggy that you could hardly see in
front of you. Here are some of the pictures
that came out with close range shooting.
Branden and Justin just messin around.

Me trying to get Branden with the streamers.

Here we are in the boys room before going to the Bennett's house for our New Years Eve Fun.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
