Happy New Year!!


Justin and I hosted a kid party at Grandma and Papa's house on New Year's Eve (thank G & P!). We had Caroline, Alex, Ethan, Dominick and Gabby as well as Joanna, Anthony and Cate over to celebrate. (Hudson spent the night with a friend.) We played Apples to Apples (seriously the best $25 buck we ever spent.... seriously!!) and lots of Wii.... and taking a page from the Sue Milton book of new Year's celebrations, we had a goody bag to open every hour with something for the kids... glow sticks, party hats, noise makers, candy... little stuff but it was fun and it really helped to make that clock move along quicker! (Thanks for the great idea Sue!) Cate was fading a couple hours before the ball dropped so Joanna and Anthony went home, but the rest of the gang stuck it out until midnight!! In fact Ethan and Dominick thought that they didn't have to go to bed then because it was already the next morning! They cheered in the New Year and made so much noise that Kipper (Papa and Grandma's dog) started howling. It was pretty funny.
Justin and I both think it was the best New Year's Eve we have had in a long time. And we are offering up our services for next year!!!

Came here following random links. Nice family. Nice country. Getting better at soccer each year have to admit. It would be nice to have a map or something pointing to the city. Nice blog.
