Happy New Year






We rang in the new year with Larry and Ben in a low-key fashion. Sam and I cooked dozens of tamales and a double batch of his famous chili while Larry and the boys watched a movie. We ordered Chinese food (a Pam Russell tradition that we've kept alive for years) and read our fortunes in the cookies. Some of us made it to at least see the ball drop in NYC, but Zion passed out early in his room and Ben crashed on the couch.

The next day we had Sam's side of the family over to celebrate a late Christmas. It was nice to have everyone in our Evanston home and to see the kids interact. Here are some pictures.
