Well we have added two new pets to our household this in the last couple of days. Actually, Emily got a new hamster (her other one died recently) so technically it just replaced an animal that was already here. She picked out a long-hair syrian hamster that is charcoal grey with silver highlights...Emily named the hamster Bella. She is a pretty cool hamster...very active and likes to climb the sides of her cage and run on her wheel. Bella is also getting use to being handled...once we pick her up she calms down (hasn't bitten us either:). Emily was a little reluctant on getting another hamster but now that she has Bella everything seems fine and Emily really likes her.
The second new pet is a corn snake. Nick has been wanting one for quite some time now and we finally found a nice, docile snake. He named it Ziggy. I said that it is part of his birthday present but his birthday isn't until mid-March so we'll see how that goes. Ziggy is a very nice snake...we have been holding him a lot and he is fun to interact with and watch him slither around. We are excited on having these two new pets in our family...the zoo keeps going!

New Year's Eve Party
We went to a family fun New Year's Eve party in Maple Grove held at their community center. We went with my sister-in-law, Melissa and her kids Gabi and Gage--they live in Maple Grove and received information about this fun party.
Each ticket cost $10 and we got dinner...pizza, chips, cookie, yogurt and drink as well as carnival type games with prizes, inflatable jumpy things, ice skating, swimming, dancing, crafts, free popcorn (Tim ate at least 5 bags!) and the huge play structure called the Maple Grove Maze. We had a super fun time...the kids had plenty of stuff to do. At the end there was a balloon drop in the gym then everyone stomped on the balloons to break them. Nick and I watched from some big windows above and outside the gym since he doesn't like loud noises.
We had a great New Year's Eve. We had a low key New Year's day...had a pajama day:)
We wish everyone a wonderful 2009!
