Well, number last showed up about 45 minutes ago.  Here are some pics of the runt…okay, maybe runt isn’t quite the right word.  The dude has some scary big hands and feet.  Anyway, final digits came in at 8lbs 4oz and 20.5inches.

We don’t get out to the snow much, so we don’t really have any snow clothes.  Lucky for us, Brigett found the kids some clothes on sale so we could tag along on this snow trip.  Actually, I should say, lucky for the kids, cause Brigett didn’t find any snow clothes for me or for herself.  It was fun, and cold.

Christmas and New Years were rockin parties. The Budges came over on New Year’s Eve and the kids were out of control as usual.  Then, being the late night owls that we are, we almost all made it to midnight.  Braden, Koen, and Peyton were gone by 10, Maddie made it to 11:00, and Brigett made it to 11:45.  Maybe next year.

The Girls (all of them) had a dance recital just before Christmas.  It was quite the performance.  Here are some pics.
