New Year's Eve Activities

 We celebrated Margaret's birthday on the 30th.  Here we are at the Pizza Pie Cafe.

 Kate made a chocolate cake.  M = Mom.  M = Margaret.  M = Magnificent.  M = Marvelous.
It looks like Jesus joined the party.
 On New Year's Eve we went to the church building and used Stacie's Christmas present (a badminton set).
 Grandma took the first "baby duty" shift.
 Kate used a slightly different tactic for her serves.





 Perfecting the serve.
 Check out that vertical!



 Sam's strategy?  Intimidation.
 "Bring it!"
 You can't win if you aren't willing to sacrifice your body now and then.



 The concentration!
 "I'll just hold my racket out like this and hope the birdie hits it."


 Sometimes the net gets in the way of a good shot.
 Playing some exciting games of Rook.
Seth and McCall taught us how to play "fish bowl," after finishing a large pickle.
