New Years Eve

We went to Oma and Opa's house on New Year's Eve. Oma made her traditional Christmas meal of German sausages and potato salad. She also made a really yummy cheesecake. It was so fun to visit with them. The kids love playing in Opa's room. He has a slot machine that they enjoy "winning" the money from. He also has a lot of glass nicknacks and neat German beer steins to look at. Oma always decorates the house so beautifully for Christmas. It takes her a long time to set it all up, but it's always fun to look at all of her decorations.
After we left their house we went to the Gateway to have dinner and then went to the Jazz game. We met my parents and their friends, Frank and Clea, at the Energy Solutions Arena. It was a really good game. The Jazz won! GO JAZZ! This game broke their awful loosing streak. I'm glad they won. I hope they can keep it up.
In this picture you can see how far up we were in the stands. It was almost like watching it on TV, only louder!It especially got louder when they started to hand out the spirit sticks that the kids got to make lots of noise with!Sorry, mom, I know you don't like this picture!!
