I’ve gotten behind in updating our Photo Gallery.  This evening, I spent some time in doing just that.  Click HERE to see photos for the events from the last several months in the McDougalls’ Home.  Enjoy.

Our New Year’s Eve tradion is to spend the evening with some friend or ours, the Schmidts.  We alternate between our houses every year, and this year the party was at our house.  We had a nice evening of eating way more than we should have, and playing and having more fun than we deserve.  We had a mean game of “Shanghai Rummy“, in which I WON! :^)

The evening was enjoyable and all of our children had a lot of fun.  It was a good way to bring in the “New Year”.

Today, we celebrated Alia’s ninth birthday with a small party.  She had three friends over.  They danced, played games, opened presents, ate cake and ice cream, and did a ton of fast sledding down a slippery snowy hill.  Over all, I would say the day was a grand success.  Happy Birthday Alia! May God richly bless you this next year.

It has been raining for two solid days now. The moisture is actually a blessing even if it interrupted  our plans for this weekend.  The rain is really bringing out the green in the area around us.  Here is a picture of the beautiful Elkhorn Mountains taken from our front deck.
