Happy New Year!

We had fun last night at our neighbors' house celebrating the end of 2008, although we made it back home well before midnight.

The kids had a pizza picnic:

And they enjoyed chocolate fondue:



Today we visited Robert's Aunt Isy and saw three of his cousins - Stephen (Isy's son), Karen (with her two boys, who live close by), and Angie (who was visiting from California with her husband, Mark, and his parents).


In other news - I've been squirreled! I was taking ornaments off our tree this morning when I heard a loud ka-thunk. I thought a heavy ornament had fallen, but when I searched under the tree, I found this:
I made this piece as an art project in middle school. It's supposed to be a cat, but everyone seems to think it looks more like a squirrel, so that's what we call it. Anyway, it gets passed between my mom, my sister and I, mysteriously appearing after sometimes months of hiding. I guess it's been hanging out in my tree since Christmas Eve. I wonder where it will show up next?
