I got a good start on two of my new year's resolutions. One of them is to read the Bible through this year. The boys + Olivia had given me a chronological NIV Bible for Christmas. Neat!
Even though I was up pretty late the night before waiting for Tim to return from his party, I didn't sleep in too late. I just don't like feeling as if I'm sleeping the day away, and that's how I feel whenever I'm in bed past 10 AM. I had a pretty busy day, anyway, and wanted to get started on it.
First, I started my world-famous pizza meatballs in the slow cooker... sauteed some chopped onions, then mixed into that some pasta sauce and my secret ingredients, and poured that over the meatballs.
After my wife's lunch break, I wrapped presents for our extended family Christmas party. Then we all went to that party. It was a pretty good time. Doug & Olivia showed up! And I kind of learned a new card game. I forget its name, though. Something like "nerf" cards, because when you think you've one a round, you yell out "nerf!" (only not "nerf" but rather the word you're really supposed to yell out).
Here are some pictures:
