On New Years Eve we got together with friends for a fun party and white elephant gift exchange. During the gift exchange we got the Nun Pot. This is literally a Nun standing on a Pot and was a white elephant gift brought by the Woods years ago. Since then it has circulated among friends from being hidden in people's houses, to being a house warming gift, ect. We had never had and it and now, we have! We have fun friends.
We are excited for the New Year and the new goals and resolutions we get to make. I am going to have fruit and/or veggies available and eaten at every meal and try harder to cook more. I also want to participate in some type of race or obstacle course, maybe a mud run. We are going to go on at least 3 family trips (not to visit family) this year, which can include camping up in the mountains. We are hoping that by the end of this year Ben is in grad school. We are looking forward to 2016 and the experiences it will bring to our family!
New Years morning we went to Longmont to my parents house and had breakfast with the Gibson's. They were visiting Amy's family in Loveland and got to come down and see us. The kids played and we got to talk. It was fun to see them and catch up.
My parents came over in the afternoon for Ben's dinner and presents and dessert. For dinner we made Brazillian Beans with cheese rolls and shrimp on the side. It was delicious. Every birthday is like Elizabeth's birthday; she gets to help open presents, blow out candles and eat cake (or cheesecake).
Ben is 33 and an amazing husband and father. He supports us financially, spiritually and emotionally. He is loving, kind and Elizabeth's best friend. We are so grateful to have such a wonderful man in our lives!
