Happy New Year






New Year's Eve was fun. It was the first time in years we've actually had plans. Yes, it's a sad little life. The first pic is us at a little Mexican restaurant for dinner. The food was good, but the bench was surprisingly hard. When you first sit down you expect it to be soft and squishy- not hard like the ground. Ouchie.

We then went to the light display in town. It was enormous and very pretty. We even saw a couple getting married. They must've been freezing their little butts off. Brrrrrr... you are now pronounced popsicle and wife.

Then Rian and Tanya and Jeff and Alison had their respective pictures taken in front of the brightest bridge in the universe.

Finally the geese, ducks, swans-whatever they were- were all ganging up on a poor little duck for some holiday loving. I shooed them off of her, but they wouldn't be stopped. Poor duck. These animals were behaving so I took their picture.

The next day:
Happy New Year to everyone! We stayed up later than we have in years last night, and today we did the Polar Bear Plunge in our local lake. Well, we showed up late and they had started without us (and I'm the creator of the event), but oh well. I guess I should've showed up early, not exactly on time. :)
We had lots of people over to our house after the Plunge for a warm up dip in the hot tub, and for snacks and goodies. After everyone left, we promptly took a 2 hour nap to recoup from last night's late stay.

I hope everyone had a very nice New Year's Day. Let's hope for the best in 2009...
