Happy New Year, dammit.

Well it's a new year now. I haven't had a shower all year. Badum dum. I haven't been outside all year. Badum dum. I've been wearing the same clothes all year, and they're jammies. Badum dum. I've been making these jokes all day (all year. Badum dum). It's almost my favourite time of year, just because of the jokes. You can say on the night of "This is the last time I'm going to tell you I love you all year"; or "This is the last time I'll see my children all year". It's gloriously corny and I've been driving Jake crazy with them. So crazy in fact that he's twisted his beard into a "trifecta" as he calls it, and even put three elastics on the tufts. "Try a trifecta" he said. He hasn't trimmed his beard all year. Badum dum.

We put the kids to bed last night and watched movies and tv until midnight. I tried not to fall asleep but I did end up taking a few unauthorized naps on the way out of 2008. Then we went to bed. Uneventful. Jake said next year we would be doing something more exciting. Maybe poker? Maybe something more fun than a barrel of monkeys? Are monkeys really that much fun? And a whole barrel of them, would that be funny? I think it would be pretty sad. Especially the bottom monkeys. They'd be all poop covered and squished and probably pretty bitter and viscious.

Hope you all are safe and healthy and happy. Lots of love,

Jennifer, Jake, and Hayden typed out his and his brother's names:

Would the monkeys be viscous? Or Vicious? Both maybe. Yuck.

viscious is when you're very nasty and also have a surface tension that keeps you from submerging.
