So we spent New Years with the Mattas once again. Taylor spent the night at Grandma's. Cali was out pretty early and only woke up once or twice. I brought up most of good selections of my booze so that Nathan could try them and I had a few of theres. Even with all that collection not to much drinking was done, though much silliness was had. We played Clue and Taboo and spent a chunk of time chatting, it was a nice way to ring in the new year. For Taboo, Jenny and Nathan dominated against Shannon and I, but Nathan and I, after being tied with Shannon and Jenny for a bit, came back to get 6 in a row (of the 3 needed) to win right before midnight. I guess 30 some odd years of friendship adds up to something.

For New Years Day, we ate lunch at Ruby Tuesday, which was...well...they described it much better then it tasted. Not that it was bad, but it just wasn't as good as it sounded. You see these commercials with these wonderful care taken to make these burgers and then you expect at least something better then above average.

Then. Chucky Cheese. Oh the joy. You know Shannon's nephew and niece are great, but I'm not a huge fan of Chucky Cheese. Oh well, The Matta's joined the party and it was a lot of fun for the kids. But unlike last year where there were pretty much just us there, they had 4 parties there and it was just a bit crowded...but maybe that's just cause I don't like people.

And afterwards we stopped by a Starbucks (I know I know, I'm bad) and headed down 1st Ave to look at the changes to the town, got on the interstate and headed home.
