We’ve been having some fun times so far this January. For New Year’s Eve we went over to our friends Matt and Jamie’s house and played the Xbox Kinect which is the newest virtual reality game similar to the Wii that is very active. We were sweating and laughing and in general enjoying ourselves, especially as we played against a three-year old with boundless energy.

We stayed up until midnight and watched the re-run of the countdown and ball dropping in New York (since we are two hours earlier here in Colorado) and toasted to the new year.

Earlier that day we took our niece, nephew and my cousin Tommy who was in town out to lunch as part of their Christmas present. We decided to go to Pho Duy which is a new Vietnamese beef broth soup place in Greeley. Britton and I love going there so we thought we would show the kids. Plus, it was really snowy and cold, a perfect day for soup!

Then this weekend we were invited to a re-wrap your crap party, AKA white elephant party at my friend Kelly’s house. We love these parties and have even had one at our house! After Christmas you always find stuff you really don’t need anymore or that is just plain silly so it’s a great way to have fun with the excesses.

We ended up with a tea timer -for people who can’t remember to take their tea bag out of their cup! lol And another glass chicken/rooster. I am starting to amass quite a lot of weird chicken paraphernalia thanks to my love of our real chickens I suppose.
