Happy New Year!!!!

So this year since we weren't in Hawaii like we were suppose to be for New Years we decided at the last minute to throw a RAGER of a New Years party! We called a few friends and before you knew it about 25 people showed up! I think everyone had a great time because it was thrown together at the last minute so let's be honest....I'm sure the expectations were pretty low. Jed and I were laughing with Chris and Jen at the end of the evening how much our lives have changed over the past couple years. We've added lots of spouses and kids and babies to the group which makes it even better. As you can see from the picture above Rylee and Mitch are enjoying a mean game of Zingo! (the kids version of bingo). Below is a shot of Brian (grey shirt) dropping his coat and heading straight to the kitchen for some of Jed's famous dip!

















Below is some nice shots of the gang ringing in the new year after all the guys (and some girls) had played "Rock Band" for a good couple hours. Most of the kids and babies were fast asleep by midnight but there were a few who hung on strong! Of course we had to have some nice mormon wine (sparkling cider) to ring in the new year! I like how in the picture below it looks like I totally busted out Justin picking his nose!

































Above is Jack who was one of the few kids to hold on strong and ring in the New Year---he was loving that horn---if only he could figure out how to make it work! Below is proof that I even stayed up til midnight which was a major task for me! I even took a nap that afternoon to prepare for the late night. What can I say----I'm such a grandma---9:30pm and I'm ready for bed!
