Happy 2008!

Lindsay and Erin with cousins Abigail and Sonya

Skiles side cousins: Lindsay, Danielle, Abigail, Sonya, John and Erin
We had dinner together and a small gift exchange. The kids had fun chasing each other, making the animated Santa Clause dance, and playing pool.

The "Skiles" side family all together.

Nerts!

We had a nice weekend in Turlock visiting Annette's side of the family. We got together with both the Skiles and Nutcher sides. We had a little bit smaller version of the Nerts tournament with the Nutcher cousins. But now that all of the next generation is in college and high school, we all play together. We made five tables of four players. Tim was the men's high scorer in the older generation, while Darcy won for the women. Trevor was the young men's high scorer (well, there are only two young men so it was kinda easy), and Courtney was high scorer for the young ladies (a slightly harder task with 7 girls competing). All in all it was a good weekend to see everyone and catch up.

We spent the rest of the new years weekend back in Whittier, doing some trimming in the yard, and watching football.
