Happy New Year!!!

Ravyn loves her "choo choo train!"



Last year we got this same photo with Santa, but since it was New Year's Santa couldn't join us.


2008 came without a bang around here, but that's okay with us. Jamie celebrated at work by drinking a Red Bull with 8 of his coworkers while Ravyn and I watched New Year's in Sydney (2 hours earlier) and were in bed by the time it rolled around here.
New Year's day was a little more festive. We went to a local botanical garden that puts on a huge Xmas festival each year. As with all other festivals, it was complete with a laser show, fireworks, and loads of fun.
There was only one problem with the night. It was freezing!!!! It had to have been the coldest night this year. Normally not a problem other than we sent all of our winter clothes to storage, so we were left with 2 lone beanies that came with Jamie from Korea.
So, you ask, "Just exactly how cold was it?" In the moment, I would have told you it was freezing with 20mph winds!!!!! In reality, I had Jamie check the temperature at work, it was only 50 degrees!!! Oh, the games island life will play on your mind.
