New Year’s Eve was COLD and drizzly. We came out from church to find our cars covered in frozen raindrops. (Except the windshields because the Young Men went out and scraped everyone’s windshield during third-hour. Most of them didn’t have gloves or an ice scraper, it was true sacrifice.)

After church, we played Skip-bo by the fire to keep warm.

We had a little bubbly for dinner…

…and then monkey bread for dessert.

It’s our favorite!

Carter stayed up late enough to watch the ball drop live in New York. Then we all went to bed and slept through our local new year!

New Year’s Day we went ice skating with the Groupon that Aunt Sara gave us for Christmas. It was the kids’ first time ice skating but they didn’t take more than a lap or two to figure it out. Their roller-blading skills seemed to transfer to the ice pretty seamlessly!
