Happy New Year!




Happy 2007 to each and everyone. May it be healthy, happy and joyous!

I know for Pappa and I and hopefully Cameron too, we have had a blast this weekend, eating bridge mixture, juices mixed with 7up, oatmeal for breakfast with brown sugar and cinnamon, Swiss Chalet for lunch with GG and Auntie Maddie, Church this morning with Pastor Ken preaching at Trinity. Going down the big hill on 104th that can be very scary, and seeing the huge Canadian flag hanging down because there wasn't enough wind (a novel idea especially lately). Tonight's dinner consisted of homemade Pizza with Pepperoni, just the way Cameron likes it.
Cameron and Pappa had several games of chess, Pappa said he is so much better at than the last time. Countless games of Kerplunk (Thanks Aunty Amy for the vintage game!, even G.G. had a go with Cameron and lost!) We read several chapters of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory--we cut it off tonight just as we were about to meet the Ooompa Loompas. All in all -- a pretty darn fine weekend to celebrate the new year. We rang in the new year with New York via CNN blowing horns and throwing streamers and the party animal is now asleep! God Bless Him.

I include three pictures here, and as I never know what kind of order they will come out in here's a brief description. One is of our very first New Year together when Cameron was only 4+ months old, we brought in a brand new Century together. The other two are from last year 2006 wearing paper hats, and tonight's photos ( you can tell which one this is as we look a little older (that would be Pappa and Nanny!)
May you all have happy memories of New Years past and present, God Bless Us Everyone!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

What lucky grandchildren you have to have such fun grandparents! I don't remember how to play Kerplunk but I remember it was lots of fun - might have to check it out again. Happy New Year! :) Wendy

Hi Everyone, in case you are reading this, Happy New Year right back at you!

Wendy, it's a tall clear plastic cylander filled with holes, you fill the holes with plastic pick up type sticks, then through the top of the cylander you drop marbles in. Each person takes a turn rotating the base to slot 1 2 3 or 4, pull a stick and hope for the best. The one with the least number of marbles at the end wins-that would in most cases be Cameron if you were playing him. He is good and honestly, I did not cheat and let him win. Lulu will love playing this one in a few more years, so try and find one at the toy store!
