A Happy New Year!

This New Years Eve we had a small gathering at our house. Just a few of our good friends and their kids. We have all gotten to the point in our lives that going to bars on New Years Eve & partying just doesnt appeal to any of us anymore. Personally, I dont think having a hang over is fun when you have kids and they are playing with loud toys, crying & yelling. So instead we all make some picky foods and have a drink or two, play games & just hang out.



The kids all had a great time. They were party animals! Surprizingly they all made it past midnight! As you can see they had toys everywhere! That's ok, they were having fun!

Here's Collin & his girlfriend Amelia. They are rather fond of eachother. We've already set up an arraiged marriage!


Hope everyone had a great New Years Eve. And hope everyone sticks to their resolutions this year! I personally decided it was better to set some goals instead of making resolutions and breaking them like I have done every year in the past. So far I'm doing pretty good sticking to the goals I've set. Lets see in a month if I can still say that!

Happy New Year! I completely agree with you on the hangover thing not being too much fun with a bunch of noisy kids! We just chill out at home too! Good luck sticking to your goals! I hope I can do the same!

Happy New Year! What a fun night - it looks like the kids had a blast, and they are such party animals staying awake past midnight! We like to do the same thing with having good friends over on New Years Eve.
Good luck with your goals! I have set goals for myself for the year too, and so far, so good . . . hope it lasts the whole year! :)

Happy New Year! Looks like a good time! I'm with ya on the whole bar scene - yelling over too loud music, getting bumped into/drinks spilled on/etc by strangers, and the hangover are no so much fun. Besides, being with the family and some friends is way better anyway!
