New Years Day

Happy 2015 everyone. Another year arrives just as fast as the previous one ended.

To start the New Year I always like to organize something so after Shaina got up, we all had eggs & coffee to get us going, it was distressing lessons on her jewel box before she headed to work for 11 and I started the pantry. Sheldon helped by washing dishes and unloading dishwasher.

I also took down all decorations but the tree, angel display and nativity but they will soon follow. Once Britt finally arose she was to work on her bedroom but was also forced to walk the dogs. I waxed Shaina's jewel box to help speed process. Early afternoon the 3 of us and Coco jumped in the truck to do for a drive. A quick stop to feed Bones and check Stouts horses and we were off east to look at some land for sale.

Rather than a rental property in town, Sheldon has explored the option of farmland rental. It turns out the property was very close to Britt's friend and it looked like a nice piece. It was then time to head home to start the annual seafood feast

Shaina and Kaylin were excited to see the huge king crab claws more than the lobster claws but along with Swedish meatballs, lollipop shrimp and a roasted carrots/potatoes dish we were set. FULL were we all. Aaron was unable to make it but he was in our well wishes as we toasted to 2015

 YUMMY fare.. Kaylin's disappointment after scoring what looked to be the biggest leg but the meat did not match lol

While things cooked Shaina finished the jewel box in dark wax after my demo, it is now ready to give to her friend as a made with love gift.

Cards were next in order after a quick clean up. During a couple stopped to pick up GGK TV unit givng it a new home. The girls loaded up and headed home around 9:30 as they are heading out snowboarding tomorrow so Britt, Sheldon and I watched Fury then had a history lesson on WW2 until finally shutting it down at 1 am!

Great way to bring in the new year, king crab and family! CHEERS!
