We spend our New Years Eve with our kids, fireworks and David Hasselhoff. That’s right, we had a Knight Rider marathon.  Every New Years Eve we delve into some old cheesy TV show (last year: Wonder Woman), eat snacks and light off illegal Indian fireworks till the ball drops at midnight. We’re all about traditions around her as long as they involve  explosions, eating snacks and 80’s TV (well, late 70’s if you count Wonder Woman).

Here’s some pics from the wild night.

I posted this a while back and figured it was time for some more Sunday fun. This is a video I made and goes way back to the days when I worked with Kevin Bussey. So enjoy some Sunday fun.

Here is a picture from Joe Martino’s house church in Michigan (or better known as the church of Joe - it’s like Graceland with less shag carpet). I’m in this picture. First person to correctly identify where I am in the picture gets a prize mailed to them.

UPDATE: Calvin won the top prize! Second place went to Erica Martino which means you win and the Indians are in fact better than then Yankees (I used http://www.random.org/ to randomly pick a winner from the other correct guesses!)

Email your mailing addresses to sdelony@yd.org to get your prize!

School was out Monday, so we took a group of kids to Seattle. It’s amazing the amount of fun you can have by investing a day with kids doing absolutely nothing. No program. No agenda. Just a van full of kids and a couple of hours. It’s that simple.

There’s all this talk about the possibility of Peter Jackson returning to helm the movie version of The Hobbit. So I did a search over google to find out more and stumbled upon this: The Hobbit Name Generator. You plug in your name and they give you your hobbit name. It’s senseless fun, but that’s just what we need on Wednesdays.

My Hobbit name: Lotho Millstone of Bywater

What’s yours?

And for those of you who are super geeks, you can also find your Elvish name (not Elvis name) here.

My name is:  Glorfindel Vanimedlë

I’ve got a missions jar that I’m going to take the money out and count. Any guesses? I’ll tell you how much next week. The person who guesses the closest gets a prize!

Price is Right Rules: Closest to the number with out going over wins. If you go over the amount, you’re out. [Good idea Jacki - you are wise beyond your blonde hair and love of the Florida gators]
