Happy 2009 to everyone! Christmas was so wonderfully busy seeing both sides of our family, that we celebrated New Year's in a low-key way. We made some pizza dough for some 2009 pizza (I was sadly led astray by allrecipes.com and the crust was not nearly as yummy as I hoped it would be). Luckily, we made some Magic Bars to celebrate teh New Year as well - nothing says celebration like melted butter mixed with gooey chocolate chips! 
There was a fireworks display at few minutes from our house at 6 PM. Our poor, deprived children have never seen fireworks because they are asleep by 7:30, making attendance at 4th of July fireworks not an option (unless we enjoy screaming, crabby children). We were all really excited to see them. Ainsley has been talking about the experience for days ("I saw a pink one, and a green one, and a....").
Sawyer came along too, and was happy to tag along until the finale, when he gave us this little frown.
After we got all the kids to bed, we rang in the New Year with champagne at 7:45 PM. We are tired people!
We wish you all the best in 2009!

Oooh, what are magic bars? They sound delicious.
Hey Pen,
As grandparents Marlene & I can't thank you enough for blogging the family adventures. We really enjoy seeing all the photos and videos! (Although I have been slow on the uptake of making comments)
Dad
