So after the fireworks, we all came back into the house for a toast to the new year!
New Year's Day evening we spent at Matthew and Irene's for opening of our exchange gifts and dinner. Nanna and Kristin patiently waiting.
Chris and Riley showing off their new Nanook jerseys.
Chris began reading his book from Aunt Kristin right away after being concerned about it's thickness.
After Kristin opened Michael and Karyn's gift of beer and their certificate for future bimonthly cases of either beer or wine, she texted Jill right away.
Michael, Karyn, Steve and Nanna begin feasting on the crab. Dinner included king crab, prime rib, mashed potatoes and salad. It was so wonderful............
Lingering around the table after the table, Kristin tries out Maya's toy from Sweden (I think...) which is all about using your imagination. Perhaps Kristin is trying to be a girlie storm trooper? or is it her own version of Wierd Howard?
Maya being herself on James' lap. She is such a happy little girl and can she ever talk!

On Saturday, January 2nd, several of us (Kristin, Gary, James, Steve and I) went with Captain Dan on a winter king charter. Kristin and I mid-morning waiting patiently for something to happen, and it did...a light snow.
Steve bundled up and ready for action.
While fishing in Sadie Cove, we saw some mountain goats down close to the water.
Even though we got skunked, an unbelieveable skunk as the two boats that were with us most of the time were bringing in fish, Gary ending the day with a smile.
