Our good friends, the Harpers, arrived on Thursday to say good bye to 2010 and Hello to 2010. I had a lot of great plans for this weekend. Mainly a lot of sledding in the snow and playing outdoors but with temperatures ranging from 2 to 25 it was a bit too cold to be out for long.
We did manage to venture out Thursday afternoon to the downtown sledding hill. I wouldn't say that we were sledding on snow though. More like ice. It was very slick and treacherous but the kids still had fun.
Even though we couldn't spend our time outdoors that didn't stop us from having fun. The kids enjoyed having Risk tournaments and playing on the Wii Fit, while the adults played cards. Mike and Sue are our favorite Rook players. We have yet to find a couple that we enjoy playing Rook with more. The guys usually beat us girls but we don't mind. We still have lots of fun.
We didn't quite make it to New Years on Friday night. The adults were plum worn out and sent everyone to bed at 11pm. Of course, the boys stayed up in their room til midnight and watched fireworks out their window. We figured it was New Years back in Michigan and Tennessee so it was good enough for us to go to bed.
Now everyone is gone. The food is all put away, the house is cleaned and the decorations have been taken down and boxed up. Time to get back into a normal routine, but it sure was a fun break.
