Bonjour,

Happy New Year!

We had the traditional Van Manen apple fritters for breakfast this
morning. The boys really liked them. They kept asking, "More donuts,
please."

Margie had invited us over for a meal today. We went over there at
16:30. I took the traditional Consford black eyed peas, macaroni and
cheese, and apple fritters. Lenell came too. She brought cornbread,
salad, and cake. Margie made a pork roast with potatoes and carrots.
The meal was delicious. We had a good time of fellowship. We played a
couple rounds of Hoopla after supper. The boys played with toys and the
keyboard. Bonnie got passed around while we played games.

Now, Joe is watching the Rose Bowl game.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
