We spent Christmas vacation with most of our family, enjoying the special visits (especially from Lindsey and Brian) and the mild weather. We even had the most exciting New Year's Eve we've had in years: partying like rock stars with all nine cousins (ages 5 and under). Finnian thought a piñata was in order, but as it turns out, we're a few more years away from the required muscle strength to break it open. Once they saw the candy inside though, the lack of a big burst didn't matter!
