Happy 2009!

We'd like to wish all of you a Happy New Year! We're enjoying our time, each other and all of our family and friends who are sharing this time with us.
There's nothing like working on your tan on New Year's Day. Here's Arthur demonstrating the proper tanning technique. Note that his face has enough color and he is working on an even base on the rest of his body.
Laura and Berlynn are hatching plans for trouble later...
Stella is happy with her family around her and is always ready to plant a kiss.
We went to dinner downtown during the street fair. Here are Rebecca, Berlynn, Laura and Branden toasting to 2009!
We showed the kids the little chapel where we were married nine years ago.
Early the next morning we headed for the tramway for a ride to the top.
Halfway up, the other car passes us on its way down.
Here's the shadow of the tram car following us up the cliffs.
The view from the upper station is breathtaking.
Soon the tram comes to take us back down to the valley.
