Happy New Year, where has the time gone?

1-26-16

Just realized that between our wonderful December trip, the holidays and life in general it has been two months since I posted. 

Trip-awesome!
Holidays-awesome!
Kids-awesome!

Life is good. My only complaint these days is that I didn't match any numbers in the billion dollar jackpot. I even had Joe do a quick pick and we didn't match any numbers on that ticket either. 

I'm thinking that 2016 is going to be a decent year. New grand baby coming in the spring, family get together for the summer, big trip for the fall and holidays at home this year. Something to look forward to in every season! 

On the cooking front, bought myself a triple basket fryer and made my first batch of buffalo wings, Joe ate so many he woke up with indigestion the next morning. Next up, I'm going for fish and chips. Never been a fan of fried foods but with all the new oils out there, figured it was worth a shot as so many of the recipes I see from a fryer look delicious. 

Grandson wise, I've had time with all three the last few weeks. Went up and spent a day with O while Joe painted his new bedroom. That one is a firecracker, already riding a bike but his true love is still the tractor! Kept me busy in the yard for hours. 

So grown!

As for the two B's, they spent New Year's Eve with us and big B even stayed for a sleep over. That one keeps us all in line! 

First drink of the New Year!

The bulk of January is devoted to birthdays in my family. Every few days, oops there's another one... Siblings, nephew, friends. Happy birthday!

February is just around the corner and we already have all kinds of things planned! Gorgeous girls from the North have a visit planned, promise from my kids to get a photo with all of them in it and we even have a trip to see Joe's sister in the works. 

Hoping that this year lives up to it's start. Here's to a healthy, prosperous, and happy New Year to one and all!
