January with the Macks!

January was quite the whirlwind for us! We thought the holidays would end and life would settle down, but not in January!! It was so much fun, though.....





New Year's Eve was spent with two other Jones couples at our home. We made a fancy filet mignon dinner, complete with shrimp cocktail appetizers and plenty of wine. After that, we entertained ourselves with games for the rest of the evening. (Never a bad time for game playing!) This picture, although not a fun party picture, is my favorite. It's our beautiful new china place setting that we served dinner on. I'm such a girl!

















After New Years, we had the exciting countdown of the Colts season! For the AFC Championship game, we had a prime spot downtown Indianapolis with the rest of Indianapolis cheering on the Colts. After the awesome win, we ran around the streets of downtown in the drizzle and cold screaming, chanting and celebrating the victory. Fans were running up and down the sidewalks, streets and driving with people coming out of all windows of their vehicles. It was AWESOME! Here's our picture with the hot off the presses Colts win in print:

If you had x-ray vision, you could see our super fan Colts gear, but instead check out those excited smiles. :)

Following the Colts game, I spent 5 days in Las Vegas working at the World of Concrete Convention. I know, I know--- exciting stuff. It wasn't really vacation material, but it did let Mike test out his bachelor skills. He tells everyone that when he'd get hungry, he couldn't figure out why dinner wasn't sitting on the table. Well, his freezer was well-stocked, and while I was eating amazing dinners on the company dollar, he managed on frozen pizzas, chicken meals and jimmy dean breakfasts. We're not really cut out for long periods of time apart!
