Week #1 of 2014

On New Year's Eve, we attended our church New Year's Eve party which includes an international pot luck dinner, talent show, devotional, and game night.  
Joy to the World
Go, Tell it on the Mountain
Jason gave his yo yo speech and received oohs, ahhs, comments, and laughter from the audience.
Off-string yo yo

off-string yo yo
counterweight yo yo
 We made it home by midnight and lit a few fireworks for the new year!

On Thursday the 2nd, we had the great privilege of spending the evening with some great friends from Arizona who we met at the Bible Bee.  AND, it just happened to snow that night, an unexpected treat for all of us, but especially the Arizonans :)

On Friday the 3rd, we attended the live clue game put on by the Speak First Chapter.  Jessica got to play her all-time favorite clue character, Miss Scarlet.  The mystery: which of these characters stole Mr. Body's valuable artifact?
L to R: Col. Mustard, Mrs. Peacock, Mr. Body, Miss. White,
Mr. Green, Miss Scarlet, Professor Plum

Everyone came in costume...


Janelle tried out some garnishing using instructions from a book she received for Christmas.

New Year's Eve, Nathan emailed me and told me they were in VA... I was thinking, "I wonder if they got together with the Groves???" I guess I was right! Looks like a ton of fun!
