New Year's Eve 2024

 New Year's Eve was spent in Arizona with the Routsong Cousins.  Nick, Carissa, Kipton, Aria, Kamden & Alina.  We went to Carissa's parents house to celebrate and enjoyed all kinds of fondu.  She had fondu pots of hot oil for which to fry up pieces of steak, sourkrout balls, chicken and shrimp on skewers.  She even mixed up some batter to dip and fry large mushrooms, cucumber & other veggies.  She had a charcuterie board to snack on, delicious frozen punch, and of course a chocolate fondu fountain with all of the goodies to go with it.  The kids had a ball frying all their dinner course and dipping all their strawberries, pretzels and marshmallows in chocolate.  They ran around and played tag outside with their cousins and the cousins' cousins.  Cooper & Jax played some songs on their grand piano.  Kaylee and Dawson played Nintendo with Kipton and Aria.  Jax and Nate got to give the flight simulator a whirl with Carissa's dad.  Then they lit off fireworks outside in the road to celebrate.  A super fun evening to remember.  Goodbye 2024, and Welcome 2025!
