New Years Eve

We had so much fun this year at our New Years Eve party. We invited our closest friends over and bonus, my sisters, Sharon and Nancy, came over as well and my parents too. Everyone brought over snackes and we all enjoyed eating. The kids all had a blast together too. It is nice to have friends whose kids are the same age and so there is never a dull moment.
This is Kory and Annie. Kory grew up with Jared and Annie was a roomate to my roomates the year previous to me going to college.(Understand?) We met up and became instant friends. Miles is their little boy and he was getting sleepy. It was, afterall, a late night.
This is Doug and Sarah. Doug was Jared's roomate and Sarah was my roomate and we grew up together in Washington.
Here are the kiddoes enjoying their Root Beer floats just after the " midnight" count down. It was only 10:00 here but we told the kids it was the new year and after their treat, we put them all to bed.
Then...the real party began! We pulled out the Martinelli's and got crazy!
We played the X-Box together. We broke up into teams, the North vrs the South, and did the Sports party play games. You got to compete with one other person per event and in the end, the team with the most points wins. It was pretty fun. Then, we pulled out Dance Central and learned some dance moves to the song Poker Face, by Lady GaGa. This is a little peak at our fun.




And then we ring in the new year with a kiss.

I love the idea of the kids having their New Years early, and then putting them to bed. What a fun evening with dance moves and everything! Thanks for the peeks.
