Odds n' Ends

On New Year's Eve we had mom and dad over for some special soup and cornbread that Gayle made. Mom brought some fruit and we had some pineapple to add.

Enjoying a simple but tasty spread before the new year.

Jared and I went skiing Saturday, and when I got home Gayle showed off the thrift store toys she bought at bargain prices for Avril. Here Avril tries out the new rocking pony for the first time.

This shot caught Avril by surprise, but it's a great one of Gayle so we included it!

Ride em' cowgirl! Clippity clop, clippity clop (it also has recorded sounds).

Avril's excited by the toys in the toybox.

The happy couple, ready for the new year.
