Holidays Round 3


We headed out to California for New Years.  I have to apologize in advance for not being able to see any friends, I was only there for a couple of days before I had to get back to Austin for work. We pretty much dedicated all of our time to family.  All of the Devine's were together minus Aimee because she had already taken off for DC. :(   

We got to meet Mitch & Lindsay's newest family addition Asher, and we got to see their new house.  We also competed in the annual Devine New Year's Olympics.  Ryan and I represented the country of Fiji, since we went there on our honeymoon. 


Mitch & Lindsay represented Italy.  (Our gondola team)

Kait & her date were team Greece

Kim & Jake were team Thailand

Our friends Julia & Brett were team El Salvador

We had a blast playing different minute to win it games while we enjoyed food from each country and rang in the new year with some sparkling drinks.  This has become a fun New Year's tradition that we hope carries on.  




While it was hard for us NOT to win the Olympic competition, we have to give credit to the champions TEAM THAILAND.  Kim and Jake have the title for the next year, but they better watch out.  Ryan and I are already practices our minute-to win it games for next year!
(Their grand prize - medals and a world sugar cookie.)
