North Dakota along with the rest of the country experienced cold cold weather from the Polar Vortex or Artic Vortex can't remember what it is called. So we had many days inside or just quick playing outside to burn some energy.
My sister and I taught big girls to play Canasta, a form of rummy. This is the game of choice when the Jiras side of the family gets together it can be played by 2,3,4 or even 6 players. We have gotten in a few practice hands since learning. The girls like to play and Theresa and Ella have both started to talk a little smack during and before the games. So far their skills have been living up to the hype.
We had a great New Year's Eve night with the Team. Theresa had a friend over and watched the ball drop in New York. None of the kids made it to midnight central time, maybe next year.

Snack time at 10pm ~ both ABC and NBC took a break in coverage from Time Square
New Year's Day went to my aunt's house to celebrate with soup and chili. I made an angle food cake to share at the party. My sister did the decorating using the leftover frosting from Laura's party.
We had more time to practice our Canasta skills and even Mr. Man got in on the action.
We have taken up watching football . Theresa is quite into the technical part of the game like should you go for touchdown or field goal and when do you go for 2 points.
Theresa and Michael very into Wild Card Saturday football
I have started taking pictures of Anne at night and napping. She sleeps in the strangest positions, none of the other girls have done this. I have to organize all the photos I've taken and make post just about Anne sleeping.
Sleeping on the 29th
Napping on the 31st
