New Years Weekend Activities 2011

Lots of college bowl and professional football games - Faith Hill doing last performance before the St. Louis game on NBC as I type this... end of NFL regular season. Bring on the unofficial playoffs - since the Cowboys won't be playing this year! Right?!  ;-)

Ground Beef Soup was the highlight of a cold weekend to stay in the cabin, this year. Used our version of the recipe Arrion used in Austin...


Worked on a big puzzle, as well. Finally got it finished a bit ago:


One last reminder of the holidays.... the day before we left Austin, Ben and Arrion and kids were taking their 'official Christmas photos' with new clothes, etc. After they were done, I was able to get this photo of the kids, Alex and Kaylee, by the tree. Kaylee had her sucker, and Alex just had one hand, but otherwise, kind of cute - and great memories!  ;-)


It was another great day!  ;-)
