And A Happy New Year!

Goodbye 2013 ~ ~ and Hello 2014. 
We started our New Year's Eve off with some bowling. 
Sam is still using the ball ramp, but he's aiming and pushing it off all by himself now.  Here he is after a strike.
 
And I'm bowling without a ramp - it's harder than it looks!  Here's dad helping me with my finger placement.
 
Ah - dad and Sam.
 
Oh - me and mom.
 
Here's how we ended.  Neither one of us beat our best scores, but we had a really fun time!  (I'm Bones and Sam is Stitches, in case you're keeping track.)
 
We had a super yummy New Year's Eve dinner - mom was forced (by us) to abandon her Fondue tradition in favor of some delicious Surf 'n Turf.  We ate prime rib and shrimp and lobster.  Mmmm, mmmm, good!
 
We also made our New Year's wishes/toasts with some yummy sparkling apple cider.  
 
After dinner, we played lots and lots of games.  A little Go Fish anyone?
 
 
We celebrated our Countdown around 8:30ish . . . .
 
. . . . because we were getting up early the next morning to go shooting with Grandpa L and Uncle Noley and dad.

 
Here we are having some lunch.  It was a nice warm, sunny day out in the desert.
 
Two good shots!  
 
We also spent some much needed time at the local Bounce House this week, getting some energy out.  
 
We climbed and jumped and slid and bounced, for a long time!
 
This is truly one of our most favorite things to do!
 
It's so hard to catch a good picture because we move so fast when we're there!
 
We spent the rest of the week playing games . . . and having a sleepover at Uncle Noley's house.
 
We also built robots . . . .
 
 
. . . . and made lots of Lego creations.
 
 
Happy New Year Everyone!
 
Sam Alert:  Howdy y'all.  Mason and I both went to Chess Camp this week.  We had a chance to take a lesson from a Grandmaster through our school and we both had so much fun.  I think I'm going to get to take lessons with him this year while Mason does Robotics again.

 
We had a very enjoyable New Year's.  Mom handed over some noise makers and we managed to make even more noise than usual!

Sam Out - See you next week!
