Happy New Year

Happy New Year!

For New Year's Eve, the boys had a party at Grandma Jackie's and Grandpa John's house. The party included staying up late, party favors, snacks, and fireworks. Both boys had a ball. Eric came home the next day exclaiming, "I had the best day ever." According to Jackie, Eric wasn't real sure about the fireworks until he saw how beautiful the colors were. Jonathan was allowed the privilege of being outside with grandpa while he was lighting them. I guess that is a perk for almost six year olds. Anna and Zachary were also there for the festivities. Unfortunately, Jaden and Jenna couldn't attend since Texas is quite a long commute.

Jay and I spent the evening at a restaurant/bar called the Pickle Park in Fridley. We went there to see my favorite local band G.B.Leighton. G.B. Leighton put on an acoustic show first. The best part of the acoustic set was when Brian, the lead singer, drew my name from the bag and then performed my favorite song for me on the sofa near the stage. So fun! The evening was fantastic and worth every penny.

Hope you have a new year filled with many blessings. Happy 2008!
