And now we welcome the new year. Full of things that have never been.
~Rainer Maria Rilke
For the first time, we opted to go bowling as a family on New Year's Eve. To make it even more special, we met up with the Raisch and Flegel families- our "forever" neighbors. Cam used the helper ramp for the bowling ball and each and every time, his buddy Emma retrieved the ramp, which was also being used by a few other lanes. Even the with "bumper rails" the kids seemed to have better aim than the adults! The package deal included pizza, pop and 2.5 hours of bowling fun. It's hard to believe we've known all of these folks for more than 13 years (before a few of them were born!) and being together as a group guarantees lots of laughter and silliness.
In addition to his parents, Patti also took turns helping Cam test out his bowling skills.
After our fill of trying to hit the ten pins, Jane and Chris took Cam to meet up with their second family- Ms. Ann, Katherine & Paul, Molly & Gordy, and Nancy & Don. We had a most delicious dinner at Outback Steakhouse. 
When we asked Cam if he wanted dessert at the restaurant or at home (stopping at Culver's on the way) he opted for an in-home dessert experience with Ms. Ann. While Cam inhaled chocolate ice cream, his parents went to ring in the New Year with the Raisch's and Flegel's. Many thanks to Ms. Ann for hanging out with her buddy so he could get to sleep before midnight!
Starting off the new year, we ventured over to Liam's new house to say hello and receive the tour of their home. Liam couldn't wait to show Cam all around his place! The boys decorated cookies and then taste-tested their creations. We're so thankful that for every best buddy Cam has, his parents also have the advantage of gaining such good buddies too.Speaking of buddies, Kelsey had some fun time with Cam over his holiday break! We're so thankful for her positive attitude, her vocabulary push with Cam, and her constant desire to make play fun and educational at the same time.As we welcome 2015, we hope you all greet this coming year with a smile and a heart full of positive thoughts topped off with lots of laughter.
