The Year of our Lord, 2006

Family and friends, Happy New Year!!

We had a great New Years celebration! We had the Wintz family, plus an extension (commonly known as a cousin) over to our house and had quite the feast! After eating we "prayed the new year in", exchanged New Year greetings (the French way) and sang a few hymns.
