Saturday Night Fun

After being in the house all day we decided to go out for a little fun on Saturday night.  We gathered all the nickels we could find and made our way over to Nickelcade!

New Years 2013 Dinner

We did our traditional New Year dinner...Benihana!

 YUM!

We also started a new tradition of writing down memories throughout the year then going through them on New Years day, gluing them into a memory book and reflecting on all the fun times we had.

 Some of our (Maia and I) memories...

Dad needs to get it together.
