New Years Day is always a fun way to start our new year. We have gone from walking as a family for 5 miles in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. to now just doing fun activities with the next generation. My dad started us as a family back in 1980 starting the new year with a 5 mile walk up Euclid Avenue so that we could instill in our bodies HEALTH and to be grateful for our HEALTH and STRENGTH. He always incorporated the pioneers in the walk as well. Can't say that we looked forward to that day of the year, but we have many WONDERFUL memories of those walks. My mom would put a turkey in the oven when we left and by the time we got back it was done and ready to be eaten. You can imagine how long it took us to walk the 5 miles, long enough to cook a 25 pound turkey.
This year we met at Max and Sunny's and did the hill by their house and got a workout. We didn't do 5 miles but we were active. Then we went back and played WII Just Dance 2 and had a blast. EVERYONE did a song and whether you were watching or playing it was fun. It's just fun being with family!!! We love our family traditions.
Some of us in the middle of the hill. Yes, my dad even after surgery on his knee climbed that hill with my mom. The two of them keeping inspiring me. Nothing keeps them down.
Another little inspiration, Major must've ran up and down that hill at least 3 times.
He was running from his shadow. Check out my parents going up another time.
Everyone seemed to love this new game, Just Dance 2. Jaden and Tia playing.
These two were fun to watch. Talk about coordination, I was impressed, they still have the moves.
My parents even played. They found a song that my dad absolutely LOVED.

Sydnee and Major are wishing everyone for us, "Happy 2011 to everyone, we love you"
