New Year's Blizzard Bocce Bowl

Every New Year's Day, the Italian Heritage Society of Indiana's Bocce Committee sponsors the "Blizzard Bocce Bowl." This year was no exception, and at 10 degrees, it was one of the coldest yet! 30 die-hards showed up and shared a couple of hours of fun and wine to kick off the new year.

Taking down the Christmas Tree

Since ringing in the new year it is time to take down the tree ~ Kevin says that its easier taking down than putting it up and I am inclined to agree with him~ He took the tree down and I put away the Christmas decorations around the house while Bailey and Boomer helped with taking down the tree ..or something like that

Boomer is enjoying the last layer of the tree before it goes in the box

But then we found him in the box and he stayed there for a little while

So Boomer didn't want the tree to be put away but he eventually left the Christmas Tree box and let us put it up! Goodbye to Christmas 2009 ~ welcome the new year!!

Colts Game at the Blue Crew

We wrapped up our Christmas weekend with the Colts game versus the Jets at the Blue Crew Bar with friends. Obviously the Colts lost the game - but we all had a lot of fun and we got to see Ted who was home from Denver for Christmas.

It started to snow that morning of the game - Bailey and Boomer were watching the snow fall
