Happy New Year!

New Years Eve was spent enjoying a chili and grilled cheese supper with Ms. Dawne and the Booth's, a missionary couple on survey of the northern part of Portugal. We entertained ourselves while waiting on midnight with wimpy fireworks (my favorite) and shaking the meanness out of Justice which seemed to get worse as the night drew on and the more red kool-aid and chocolate cake he ate.


Justice managed a right to the chin.


But Daddy always wins with tickling.

Faith reading up on the happenings in the world.


Major wishing the fireworks would end.


Tigra giving me her evil eye.


Here's a short video clip of us out in front of our house enjoying the firework show that began at midnight. The entire sky was lit up with fireworks coming from every village around us. We were told that these kind of fireworks are illegal, but it looked like everyone had them but us. Hmmmm? Turn your volume up!


Here's a short video clip of some of our very wimpy fireworks.


Wishing you all a very happy new year!
