Wed. We had breakfast and a bible study.  Then left for Tam's New Years Eve party. Once we got there Brendan showed us how he learned to ride a bike.  Then we all biked about 4 miles to Subway.  When we got home we played basketball and enjoyed being outside.  Toward midnight the kids did some fireworks.  We had corn chowder and cream-de-mint pie for dessert. Everyone stayed up and welcomed the new year.  After the kids went to bed we watched the neighbors fire works till about one.

 Thur.  We got up and had monkey bread for breakfast.( they rose a little to much but tasted delicious)  For lunch Linda made ham split pea  and chicken noodle soup.  For desert we had cream de mint pie and jello salad.  We then went to the Apple Store for a lesson on our new computer.
