Well, the new year seems to be off to a good start. John spent some time today at the Smith's house. He, Glade Smith, and Jake Johnson worked together to kill and clean 7 chickens. Two of those were our roosters that have been driving us crazy with their constant crowing for some time now. We are looking forward to a peaceful night sleep tonight!!! Also, we think that the roosters have been eating all the food and the hens have not been eating enough to lay eggs like they should, so hopefully we will begin to get eggs again soon!
While he was there, the boys and I worked on taking Christmas decorations down. We still have some more to go that we will have to finish tomorrow. It's always tough to say good-bye to the Christmas season, but it is also nice to look ahead into a new year.
Then tonight we had our little New Year's Day party. We had planned on doing this last night, but the kids were so tired after being up late the previous two nights. So New Year's eve Spencer was asleep before 7, William, Jacob, and Bryce made it to about 8, and John, Annalise, and I made it to about 11, when we decided to just ring in the new year sleeping. I'm glad we did. It came just fine without us and our little party today was nicer since everyone was not so grumpy.
As we move into the new year, we are looking forward to the many things that are already planned and hope that this year will bring many wonderful surprises as well.

I was glad to not be a part of the whole chicken "adventure" but Jake was happy to have learned the skill. Glad you are getting more sleep that is important!
