Daddy and Jilly's special day

Well, it seems we didn't take many (...ahem...any) photos on our camera from the Blauch family Christmas festivities, we'll have to wait until we get some sent to us before we can post.  Check back later for that!

But here's a funny one of Natalie in her robe, wearing her new light up slippers.  She's enthralled with them!

Meanwhile, we'll move along to New Year's (or New Ears as Natalie calls it!)...

That day Mommy had to work, so Natalie went off to day care so as not to miss the big countdown.  (At noon the kids line the hallways, shake their noisemakers and celebrate!)

But Jillian decided to skip the party at school to have a special day with Daddy.  

They started the day off with a geocache at the covered bridge at Hunsicker Road.

Then they headed into Lancaster to check out the new Science Factory.  It was lots of fun!  Her favorite thing was building a dam, but Daddy was too busy helping to get a photo...  Here's some other pictures though!

And then they headed to market to pick up some fixin's for the pizza later that night and came home to rest up for the big New Year's Eve party!
