New Years Day Activity - Burning Tree

We had a great family, food, and football filled New Years Day. My sister Jayne and her family spent the day with us. As you can see in the video we continued our family tradition of burning our Christmas Tree on New Years Day. It is a kind of "out with the old, in with the new" tradition for us. Sorry I started out with the camera sideways. This year Joyce put no flammable material on the tree but it still went up pretty quick. Except for the cold and fog we are very much enjoying the family time. Our plan is to drive down to LA on Sunday or Monday and spend about 4 days with all three of our kids and their families down there.

We have spent the last few days eating (here is Joyce and Titus making cookies) and playing games. We did not play Twister - we left that to Titus and Courage, but we have enjoyed dominoes, Boggle and Taboo among others. Mainly, these games are just a good excuse to spend time together talking and making funny comments about each other.

PS For all you Penn State fans out at PIBC... My condolences and I told you so!
