Hasta la vista, baby

To say farewell to 2011, Rays, Pettits, and Jarvi (plural of Jarvis) went repelling on new years eve day. The area was really pretty, as were the ladies.

For new years eve we hung out at G-ma Hopp's house and had a blast. 

And to send off 2011...

 

Ah, reminds me of Sundays after church while growing up. Good move mom and dad. Lets hope it was at least the TV version to make that somewhat appropriate for a 10 year old.

Normally this would be a good place to stop for a post regarding new years eve, but since it is the end of January I'll continue onto my birthday! Woo hoo! Jonny made it a fantastic day. First, he woke up at a normal time so I could have breakfast in bed when I woke up at a really late time. We went golfing with my new golf clubs, thanks to the one and only Phillis Crisp! Thanks Nana! Then the Ray fam came into town and we had a feast at Claim Jumper, where we ate huge portioned meals and double desserts. Birthday cupcake and a choco motherlode!? Wonderful.

I took these pictures solely so I could put them on this blog. Totally lame for someone who doesn't blog much, but what can you do. Later, we celebrated with some of our friends who ever so graciously played the thimble game AND inanimate objects with me. I was in hog heaven. Anyways, it was a great day/weekend/week/month/2012.

PS. I also got the Jack LaLane juicer! It is so GREAT!
