Polar Bear Plunge

We celebrated the new year at the Auke Village Recreation area, watching a bunch of crazy people take a dip in the ocean. I've heard of people doing this, but I'd never seen it before. What a riot! Are they a bunch of brave people? Or just insane? When we left our house, the thermometer read -5F (yes, that's correct - NEGATIVE!!) The water was in the low 40s. Insane, indeed.

Ready, set, go!

Holy cow!

Yikes ! I'm outta' here ! ! !

This is how civilized people dressed that day.

Happy New Year everyone! May you get out there and do something crazy every now and again!

New Year's Eve 2008

We had a great New Year's Eve. Curtis and Wendy came over to share some of our slow cooker goose BBQ sandwiches (thanks Dan for being a good shot!) Wendy brought some yummy potatoes and an even yummier cherry cheesecake dessert. After all that good food we played Scrabble. I know, I know, not exactly a whooping New Years Eve, but given the fact little Phelps is giving me a run for my money it was a perfect way to spend the evening. Here are some cute pics from our night.








Wendy trying out the SNATCHER!











And Curtis trying it too....













And lastly, our game! Thanks Wendy & Curtis. We had a great time. :)

The snatcher

This snatcher has been providing our whole family with endless laughter in the Hubert household. Is that not the sweetest giggle you've ever heard? I could listen to it 24/7!

Merry Christmas

After the Christmas festivities died down, we took advantage of a beautiful Juneau day by skaking on Twin Lakes with Dane in tow. Here's a clip from our adventure.

It's official...

Dane is not a fan of Santa! Here's the proof...


Poor little man. :(

Who needs Disneyland?

Not us... All we need is a belt (from Mommy's robe) and Daddy (for the heavy lifting)

Let the fun begin....

Big Fat Mess!

This is what happens when you turn your back for even a second! The entire bag of popcorn kernels were on the floor.













So, of course, then we had to play with them! This was Dane's favorite part!
