New Year's Day 2008, I'm in the middle with the pink scarf around my neck. Brrrrrr.
January 1 was awesome as usual. Part of the family went to the cemetery to celebrate Mom's and Dad's life, and we toasted them with a beer, like we always do. There were 20 of us there, which was great. It was absolutely freezing--a bitter wind was blowing, but we huddled together and enjoyed the visit.
Then we went back to the old homestead, owned by Joe and Cindy, and ate and ate and ate. We played games all day too. Most of us got very involved in the musical version of Catch Phrase. We played Texas Hold'em too, twice. And I won one of the tournaments, so that was a good pay off. Others played Cattan, which is a game where you build civilizations. Others played Rummikub and Triominoes. It was a super day.
Here's a picture of Rob and me on Christmas day enjoying the scrumptious meal.

Glad you got in so much family time. Next is us. Can't wait to see you in a couple of weeks.
Me too, sweetie. I miss you all so much.
