Happy New Year

We celebrated New Years by taking the boys downtown to the Fire and Ice celebration. There were Polynesian fire dancers, a volcano that spouted out fireworks and ice sculptures galore. Of course, Xavier was most interested in the big pile of snow other kids were sliding down. We also danced around a bit to a reggae band, but it was a little surreal to be dancing to island music when it was soooo cold outside! At one point they were playing, "hot, hot, hot," but we were really freezing. I'm sure you all don't miss those days. Toby slept in his stroller most of the time, but did manage to see the fireworks. He was pretty surprised at first, then just stared until they were over. I really do wonder what they thinking during times like these. Anyway, we had a fun time, but I think we will stay closer to home next year. We love you all and hope you have a wonderful 2010!
