A Happy New Year

Is it possible to have too much fun when celebrating and bringing in the new year? If so...then we did! Although we invited quite a few families to our New Year Celebration, only two could make it, but when Steve and I found out who could come, we were completely content knowing that it was going to be thoroughly enjoyable and a lot of fun...we weren't disappointed!!


 
Unfortunately we don't have pictures of how we started out the night, but the Larsens came with their three children and played games and graciously ate our homemade cheeseball and chocolate sauce (or did they have the sauce? I've been working that off ever since!) We played a few rounds of "Rate your Mate" until the Stewarts came over and the Larsens had to leave for the youth breakfast they were hosting after their dance. Judging from what our older boys said, that was the breakfast to attend (which unfortunately they didn't). We were delighted they came and stayed as long as they did!! (again, SO wish we had pictures of them.)
With the Stewarts, there was a lot of laughing, eating, playing games, and goofing off...

can you tell this was the late part of our night? :)

I think you can see that the guys goofed off more than the girls. These two are hilarious when they get together!

The kids had a great time doing the same things. They were so happy, and enjoyed each other's company so much that 12a.m. was not a difficult hour for them to stay up for. The littles didn't make it though...Alyssa, Justin, and Amy were out by 9 and 10 p.m.


with so much fun to begin with, we anticipate a wonderful year!
Jeremy. This boy loves to celebrate! I think he had the most fun.
