A New New Year´s Tradition

The New Year was awesome! My best friend Jenn is here and with her she brought awesome presents from home. We had a great late Christmas. It was so fun to get things from the states! Thanks for everything, the letters, the gifts, all was great! I hung the curtains, Will has already been fishing, the helicopters were well broken in, the candels have been burned, and we have pictures up all over our house that the kids painted, its great!


This is our ¨Old Year¨ that we blew up... the Honduran tradition is to make a scarecrow filled with fireworks and blow it at midnight. Will and Darwin went out one day with a machete to get some grass to fill it and later Darwin put him together. This is a fun New Years tradition we would like to keep. Pretty exciting. We went to a park that overlooks the city to blow him up. It was neat to look out over the city and hear they entire town celebrating with fireworks.



We were able to have Dudley, Vickie, Matt, Leslie, and Jenn, join Will, Darwin, Amber and I for New Years at our house. We broke in our new furniture including the table Will built and had a really good time eating and playing games. We were pumped to have Balderdash (a gift from the states) to play too!

This is a picture of Will and I putting in our new tables we got from the side of the road on the way to the valley of the angels. One is made out of antique door. They are really neat and I´m excited to have a real living room with real furniture and pretty curtains (another gift I love)!
