It's a New Year

In keeping with the creation of a tradition last year, we should have had a fondue dinner last night. But we got caught up putting away Christmas decorations, and the kids wanted to watch Beauty and the Beast, and next thing I know, it's 5 minutes until dinnertime and the movie had another hour.

So, to use a word my friend Nicole made up today, we created a traditionish. That is, a tradition that allows for a day or two deviance. We had fondue for dinner tonight. It was delish, although Grant chose to just spear his food like a kabob rather than dip in the cheese. Whatever, he ate.

We also discussed resolutions for 2011. Emma is going to work on riding her bike more so she can take her training wheels off, she'd like to go all the way across the monkey bars, and she's going to stay on task and concentrate at school. Grant's plan is to ride his bike and new scooter more and practice writing his name. I'd like to run 2 10k's this year and Hubs never really came up with a resolution, but did mumble something about starting to work out. We also set a family resolution - we're going to try two new things this year, one around town and one not. Our not around town one will likely be an overnight backpacking trip. Our around town one will hopefully be as simple as going to the Railroad Museum or the local art museum.
