New Years Day

Happy New Year! I can't believe another year is gone and we are about to start another year. I've seen discussions on facebook (Chris) how are you going to say 2010? Twenty-ten or two thousand, ten. AND---before you answer---how do you say the year you were born. Interesting. Haven't had to say it yet.

We started out the New Year by going to church. I think it's a great way to start off the year. The minister said this morning that none of us know what the New Year will bring and that's for sure. Do we even want to know? I mainly think of the tragedies, accidents and disappointments over the last year and hope this year will be better. Of course their are many reasons to be thankful.

After church we went to Grandpa & Grandma Hartzler's for New Years Day Feast!! Gpa & Gma made the pork and sauerkraut. Aunt Beth makes the knuflies/dumplings every year. The rest of us just took whatever we wanted. We had great food and a good time with everyone that came. I didn't take a picture of the food but I captured the centerpiece on my table:




Here are the girls putting on a little show. We had to sit and watch them a couple times. Our Mothers told us that we used to do the same thing and they had to sit and watch us. Humm... They did some singing and also put on some plays for us. Lizzie even wrote a poem and read it.
