RING IN THE NEW YEAR!

We had a great new year's eve -- complete with family, AND LOBSTERS! We decided it would be fun to have live lobsters shipped in from Maine.






They came the morning of the 31st packed in dry ice, but still ALIVE! You could hear their claws scraping on the styrofoam. Luckily, we had some manly men -- Brycen, Dale and Jason -- to "slay" the critters. After much smashing, cracking and prying, we finally got some lobster out of the shells to eat. Talk about working for your food! Luckily, we had lots of salad and rolls to fill up on in between.

The Wadsworth's -- Jan, Pauline and Kevin -- joined us for dinner (having left Kaitlyn W. at the MTC that afternoon -- she's going to be a missionary in New York City). They were pretty wiped out, so Jan and Pauline left soon after playing a rousing game of TRI-BOND. Then Brycen and Caitlyn left to spend new year's with friends; Brittany needed her bed; and Jason and Kevin were itching to kill zombies; so Dale, Emily and I rang in the new year with a fierce game of MarioKart, followed by bottle rockets and sparkling cider.

LOL! You can tell by the look on my mom's face exactly how much she enjoys sea food.
