Happy New Year!

I can still say that, right? The new year is here and took to the ground running. On New Year's Eve we had a little birthday celebration for Ken. Tasty dinner, apple pie, and sparklers out on the patio.

Will had fun with it until some of the fiery hotness landed on his foot. He didn't trust them after that.

Look at that good lookin' Jones family! Impressive that we managed to get a family photo.

We've had some beautiful, unseasonably warm weather lately, so we've been enjoying lots of park time.

I took the boys to Zilker park one Saturday Steven was at work and they had a ball running around and getting to ride the train. Matt wanted to pose on the fire truck.

After Christmas we spent a lot of time assembling Legos. For the most part, Will hasn't completely destroyed them. His favorite and most annoying thing to do with Legos is take the wheels off (and complain) and also remove the little visors from the tiny little minifigs' helmets (and complain). Matt has combined his Lego structures, blocks, Playmobil people, train track, signs, and coin collection to make one humongous city structure. Maybe he's a future city planner?

And Will has found a new way to beat on those drums...while bouncing up and down on Rody. Happy new year indeed! 2012 is going to be a big year.
