2009!!!

We want to wish everyone a Happy New Year and hope they have some good resolutions set for the beginning of a new year. New Years eve we spent at home with some family. We had Jake and Madi and Josh and Rebecka come over to play some games. Well we all played games cause Mallory didn't feel to good so she was the score keeper. Then after a little while of not wanting to be score keeper anymore cuase her head was starting to hurt, she went and just sat on the couch and watced some TV. The Dick Clarks New Years show from NYC was on and so was Phantom Of The Opera so she went back and forth between that. We started out playing the Wii cause for christmas we got this new game for it called Wii Fit, which I'm sure alot of you have heard of. You do various fitness activities such as yoga, strength straining, aerobics, and balance games. So of course just having fun we did the games. First we had to get everyone set up on it and run some tests so the Wii could determine their Wii Fit age. I was the oldest, being 38, Josh was 37, Jake was 35 I think, Mallory was 35, Madi was 31, and Rebecka beat us all being the most fit for her age and she came in perfect at 20. Then some played the balance game of ski jumping, like they do in the olympics where they see how far they can jump, and as soon as I get the camera back from my wife I'm gonna put a video of Jake and Madi doing it cause it was freaking hilarious. Then we all kinda settled down and played some card games and just had fun. The strike of 12 was coming on so we all sat in front of the TV to watch the ball drop and kiss our spouses at the New Year. After that we played another game and then everyone left. The two games we mainly played that are great family fun games are Swat and Discombobulation. They are both card games and very fun. Then for New Years day we got together with my family cause we always go see a movie in the afternoon and then do a big dinner together. So we went and saw Valkyrie which was a great movie, and went to my parents in Maricopa for a steak and shrimp dinner. Then we all just visited and came home and got alot of sleep. That was our New Years holiday so we hope you all had a great one like us and we love you all!
