Papsdorf Favorite Things about New Years

Josh
- I can't speak for him. He'll have to write his own blog.

Jill
1. Shannon's fantastic mint chocolate chip cookies
2. The game of Taboo where a dental hygiene conversation scored many points.
3. The same game of Taboo where we guessed Betsy loves her dentist, but no one suggested Dan. (I'm sure he would have been the next guess.)
4. being able to stand in the dining room to watch Pong without going in the cold
5. hanging out with Hilary, Laura and Tiffany's family (and everyone else, too)
6. sleeping in with Caleb until 9 am (what was wrong with that kid?)
7. watching Caleb play with Mary Grace, Aidan, Wesley, Amanda & Caitlyn (Christian didn't do much playing. He mostly slept.)
8. hearing the old stories all over again
9. catching up with everyone, even the people who don't post on the blog that much
10. not hearing Lincoln's snoring

Caleb
1. watching The Lord of the Beans with Aidan
2. watching Sumo of the Opera (twice) while Mom and Dad went to church
3. running around like crazy with Mary Grace
4. minosaurs in the bathtub (dinosaurs, for those of you who don't speak toddlerese)
5. learning Mom and Dad have names (Jill and Josh). (We're still working on teaching Caleb that while we have names, we don't necessarily want him to use them.)
6. the bus at the park

suggestions for next year
1. take a group picture
2. watch The Princess Bride
3. choose the next location soon so maybe Adin could use frequent flyer miles to join us
4. Anne and Kristin should come. (We love you Doug, but we missed Anne.)
5. more babies. Christian was such a darling. Surely he convinced some of you to wait no longer!
