Happy New Year!

This was my first New Years home in the last 3 years, since I started my most recent job. Our friends Shannon & Janee' invited us over for an evening of fun with friends, so we went.

One of the activites we did while there was to play a little Wii Bowling. Here's Doreen perfecting her throw!












My father-in-law, Larry, is getting ready to go for a strike.


















Our host, Shannon, partaking in some of the goodies we all ate that night.

















Our hostess, Janee', whipping together some delicous pizza bunz! Yummy!


















My mother-in-law, Sandra and friend Jackie (Shannon's Mom) wearing their Happy New Year crowns!












This is the first year we let the girls stay up until the New Year started. (Of course we all took naps earlier in the day to avoid tired, grumpy, grouchy, winey, fighting kids - They did GREAT) We're counting down and they're getting ready to blow their noisemakers for all they were worth!






Their is nothing like bringing in a new year with some good friends like Cheryl & Tracy!

















This little newborn was celebrating his first new year with his parents and the rest of us. Looks like he had a little too much to drink and passed out before the ball dropped and didn't get to blow his noisemaker!








After the ball dropped and we hugged all around we went out and set off fireworks to send off the last of 2008 and bring in 2009 with a bang. The kids had a ball with their sparklers too!

Hope anyone who reads this will have a blessed 2009!!!

Happy New Year!
