Today was a cold wet drizzly day here. It was a potato cheese soup kind of day. What is your favorite soup on wintery days? I found this recipe off of Pintrest a couple of years ago. I added the link below.

Yesterday Jake called me to see if we would like to have the kids for the night.......Duh!!!! Yes!!!! Hannah and I drove to Santa Clarita to meet them to pick up the kids and have dinner. I say that is a fun way to start the new year. Also, Hannah drove all the way to Santa Clarita. She did amazing driving over the grapevine on a holiday weekend! It is crazy for me to think she is old enough to drive. Our grandkids left this morning with their Nonny and Papa to spend time at the Atascadero house. They are going to have a blast. We will see them on Friday for another sleepover before they head home.
There was a tradition that was started by our two older kids in 2012. They started a challenge of who could take the coolest Coke Cola photo between Christmas and New Years. Over the years it has expanded to several photos taken by whoever is at our house over New Years. There have been some very creative photos taken over the years. This year has been a little different for us. Most of the photos were taken in Arizona, since a very special gal is getting married to her sweet heart in a couple of weeks. The Yarger's were unable to make it to California this year. We have broken the 11 year streak. Don't worry next year we will all be back together! As for Jake and Emily doing there challenge with each other that still continues. They still take a photo and send to to each other. This is the twelveth year of their creativness. I hope this tradition continues throughout the years to come.
