Christmas Vacation Day 11

We spent the day puttering around the house, watching the UC Football bowl game, and doing a little bit of work outside (Tim is working on cutting up the big walnut tree that fell and trying to figure out how to save some wood to make something out of it.)  The boys went to the grocery store with Tim to pick out New Year's Eve snacks.  This was Zachary's consolation for not going to a New Year's Eve party.  This is the first year in a while that we haven't done something with friends for the New Year.  At 6 PM we headed over to Mom's house.  We brought our chips, cheese popcorn (Jeremy's choice), boneless chicken wings (Zachary's choice), chili, bread, chip dip, hot pepper jelly spread, and pizza rolls with us.  We snacked, played games, and watched football.  We all actually managed to stay up until midnight.  (We did leave for home at 12:05, but still...)
