Happy belated New Year : )

We had a busy week after getting back to Portland, but then had a relaxing long New Year's weekend. 

First we had a visit from Jeff (on his way to Bend).
The typical photo of guest and Carmen on the couch.
Ashley had his fill of social obligations the previous weeks, so for New Year's eve we skipped all plans with friends and neighbors and hibernated at home and cooked lots of food.
Made homemade pasta with the mixer (thanks again Doug and Evelyn!) and pasta attachment thingie (thanks Susanne!). It was just like playing with Playdough. : )
 Over the rest of the weekend we tackled some cleaning and organizing projects and did some more cooking. 
Made soft pretzels and mustard from scratch for the first time.
We also caught the Rosebowl of course (bummer...), Ashley trained with Dave on part of his new gig, and we had a short visit from Ryan. 
Dave and Ashley did an energy assessment of our house for training, so we got to find out how ridiculously leaky it is.
I know you all have great photos from the holidays... Would love to see them! : )
