The End of the Year

It's the end of the year, and that can only mean one thing: we are fat, dumb, and happy. OK, and tired. Oh, and sore. And so, so ready for 2008. . .

The boys pose for their Christmas Eve picture in front of the tree.

Jacob asked Santa Claus to do another scavenger hunt for them on Christmas morning, and to "make it harder". Here they are solving it together before they got their clues to the location of their big gift. It required a calendar, a calculator, a world map, and a dictionary. Hard enough for you, Jacob?
Sammy and Tracy during the cousin gift exchange in the afternoon. The white elephant exchange was rousing good fun, too.

On the 27th we trekked up to Azusa. Kevin was jazzed because he is finally old enough to decorate floats this year. He and his friend Thomas thought climbing on the scaffolding and getting glue on them was totally cool. Until night time when the temperatures dropped...

The detail area is for those of us who want to stay a little closer to the ground (and closer to the heater). A tedious job that only those over the age of 20 actually ask to do. This ball will be on the China Airlines float - it's only halfway done in this picture, and I don't mean the front half.

Judy, Andrea, me, and Cindy. Cindy and I are smiling cause we get to leave prior to midnight, the other two are smiling cause they're only in hour 10 of their 48+ hour shift.

Tonight we bang pans outside, and will listen to the fireworks from Knotts. Tomorrow we root for USC, and pig out on junk food one last time before heading to Curves. Right, Cindy??
