Happy New Year's!!

Happy New Year Family & Friends!!

We were able to spend New Year's Day with Betsy, Philip, Aunt Lou & Uncle Louis. Betsy & Philip were kind enough to have all of us over and make a delicious meal for lunch. We sure did enjoy each other's company.......with some good food, of course!!

The boys packed some toys and games to take over to Betsy & Philip's apartment. They played with their Star Wars toys, put puzzles together, and played Dominoes.

Bradley, Carter, Chad and Uncle Louis. Chad is looking through Betsy's photo book from her trip to Norway. Uncle Louis is figuring out all the gadgets to Bradley's Star Wars ship.

Betsy, Aunt Lou & Philip in the dining room.....

Carter had fun exploring Betsy's apartment. The features and characteristics of their old brick home were just beautiful. Betsy and Philip live upstairs and below them is the landlord. Carter took some pictures for me of the unique characteristics. Here is a built-in hutch....

The dining room table Betsy made herself. She sanded down the old paint/stain and gave it a new look and a new shine. It was a beautiful table!

Watching "The Velvateen Rabbit" with Betsy....

Relaxing after apple pie and ice cream....



Carter was intrigued with Betsy's attic. Betsy will appreciate these pictures as Carter kept wanting to go in the attic. He took MANY pictures once in the attic, but I will show the two. :-)

Here are the stairs going to the attic....

And here is the fabulous attic!

On the way home, we listened to the new whistles that Carter and Bradley received from Lou & Louis. They would light up and sparkle and sounded like a "duck call".

I hope everybody had a great New Year's! We went out to eat with another couple for New Year's Eve and then we went to a New Year's Eve party at a friend's house. Today we are off for the Mayfair Mall in Milwaukee.

Stay warm everyone!!
