Happy New Year!

Jack and I started off the New Year's celebration with a countdown to noon party at Kathleen's house. It was lots of fun and quite crowded. There are more pictures on Kathleen's blog. A number of my high school friends came with their kids.
Joe entertained the kids.Jack and I relaxed at home before Jim and I went to a friend's wedding reception that night.
Jack wanted to get dressed up like Daddy.
Our friends Isaiah and Katie eloped to Hawaii a few weeks ago. They had a reception New Year's Eve at Katie's grandparents' house. We had a lot of fun.

On New Year's Day, my brother David and his wife Melanie did the Polar Bear Swim in Lake Michigan in Chicago. Yes, that is snow they are standing in! As Jack would say, "Brrrrrrr."
On New Year's Day, we had dinner with Jason, Elizabeth, and Andrew. Jack and Andrew had fun playing with Andrew's toys. It was all fun and games until Jack smacked Andrew in the head with a hockey stick. Jack wasn't paying attention at the time (it was not intentional). Luckily, Andrew is fine. No more hockey for Jack for awhile.
