New Year's Eve 2017

(I created this post in Aug. 2018, so I can't really remember what we did. That's why there's just mostly photos 😒.)

We played Quirkle.

That's some bottle of wine!

10 p.m. bedtime for Ali.

Sparking apple cider and champagne at midnight.

12:01 a.m. - it's 2018!

Kansas Underground Salt Museum

We haven't been here in a while...2010 to be exact. Here's what the boys looked like then...

And here they are now.

We dug for salt rocks. No one licked the wall this time.

We all took our picture by the pick axe...

Christmas 2017

(I created this post in Aug. 2018, so I can't really remember what we did. That's why there's just mostly photos 😒.)

Christmas Eve.

This interesting one was a re-enactment of one the grandchildren took in 12 years ago...

Newport Grill. The wine was very "approachable."

 Christmas Day. It's after 9 a.m. and the boys are not awake yet.

Ali is annoyed.

Best stocking stuffers: Adam and his shredded cheese, Zach and his hot pockets.

Played some games. Scattegories. This is when mom put down s*** for a four-letter word that started with "s."

Bananagrams.

Glasses with lights!

Adam got Vans.

Zach got a robe.

Santa brought the family a robot vacuum cleaner. We named it Jeffrey.

No More Brace Face!

December 7 - Adam's braces off!

December 14 - My braces off!

Disclaimer: I'm miffed I got mine on a full year before Adam, and he got his off before me.

December soccer

Um...outdoor soccer in December in Kansas? It can work when it's sunny and 65 degrees!

This is Zach...

Under the lights!

This is Adam. See that ball way up there?

Team dinner at Red Robin after...
