New Years 2010

Another year gone by, another year of reflection and another year ahead of possibilities. Good bye 2009, hello 2010. I love even years!

This year we decided to stay close to home and celebrate the New Year with neighbors over a blue crab feast. This gave Jeff the opportunity to use his turkey fryer and have some bonding time with Neil on our frigid porch. It's kind of like hunting but without the camouflage.

Ah, the frigid December air...

Time for the first batch.

Don't make friends with the stuff you are about to eat...

Keeping the little ones busy while mom and dad pound out dinner.

You are tasty but provide very little meat to eat. A lot of work for a little bite!

Crab stew anyone?

Ringing in 2010! Have I mentioned I liked even years?

O Christmas Tree

...how lovely are your branches. Kate decided to write out the entire song and sing along one day. What a great way to get into the Christmas spirit! I love first grade spelling!
