We were soooo grateful to have Katie and Joe spend a few days of their precious Midwest visit with us. We got to celebrate Katie's birthday AND New Years with them. We hadn't seen Isabelle in 6 months and boy had she grown into such a fun, interactive little girl in that time. The snow storm kept us housebound, but that didn't stop us from having a ball. I think I have spent more New Year's Eves with Katie than without in the course of our relationship (16 years now!) and I hope it stays that way:)

| At least we have a helper with the clean up |

| With a little more cabinet and ceiling this picture would have been perfect. |

| Snow didn't let up for the holiday, we were glad we stayed in! |
| Happy New Year!! |
