More New Years Eve 2008

The Lamp for the White elephant gift exchange

This Year Josh and the family had fun making the funniest leg lamp ever. We purchased the legs at a business going out of business sale. Then the creative thoughts started flowing and this is what the man legs turned into. On the night of Christmas Eve the cousins do a White Elephant exchange at grandpa'a house. Spencer picked the biggest gift labeled with the words "FRAGILE" he noticed it was a lamp and had two legs. From there it had an exchange to Mark and then to Jeff who then will be taking it to college to put in his frontroom. Good Luck Jeff I hope we see the lamp next year with different clothes.

Tori's 14 birthday

Dave had to go to Boston for a business trip, and I tagged along as his tour guide. I decided that we should visit Philadelphia, the scenic views of Connectitcut and Rhode Island, and finished up in Massachusetts. We saw the Liberty Bell, Valley Forge, Gillette Castle, the Mayflower, the North Bridge in Concord, Lance and Judy (friends from school), Shopping at Fanieul Hall, Watching the Jets beat the Patriots, and a lucky piece of wood from the dundgeon the accused witches were kept in in Salem.
