If you are anything like me sometimes the month after Christmas can be a let down-a slow slogging through the long, cold, gray winter. Well, you need to google the song “Merry Day After Christmas” by Matthew West-I think it’s on his Christmas album. Anyway-it’s got a great reminder for us for the rest of the year. I tried to find the lyrics but I’m not that savvy of a web user I guess. We had lots of fun in November and December. Decker experiencing many new things. Brady and Decker went to their first basketball game alone without mom (mom was working)-go trees. Decker got to go bowling and to the local bounce’n barn for the first time with his cousins. We attempted a gingerbread house and some baking (now Decker likes to add sprinkles to anything-oatmeal, yogurt, and banana bread to name a few)! Decker had his first taste of Red Velvet cake (a Laswell/Hansel tradition) and he loved it. On New Year’s Eve Decker got to stay up late and partake in another Hansel tradition-sparkling cider-he also loved it-bubbles and all!! Enough about the little guy what about us-well, not much new with Brady and I. Brady ran a trail race yesterday (in the ice) and beat his brother in law Kyle and soon to be other brother in law Brad! We are taking Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University Class each Sunday from now to what seems like forever-ha! Brady and I have very different study and reading habits, and thoughts on spending and saving-this ought to be fun guys! Brady is classified as the “nerd” and I’m the “free spirit”….I’ll let you know how it turns out in the spring.
