Happy New Year!

This is how we PARTY! We all meet over at the kitchen at 10:30 PM, eat food, play games, and kick off midnight with some fireworks and wake all the other people that are sleeping.

Cecelia, there in the background behind the counter provides the sparkling cider, that we use to toast in the new year.
Around 7:30 that night I was seriously wondering if I'd make it to the late night party...but, I persevered by watching Lifetime movies to keep myself awake.

Here are some of my family members playing Boggle....and Ben is the world champ at that game. Seriously.



Even my 92 yr old grandpa makes it out to the festivities....he's looking rather mountainman-ish these days.

Aidan was enjoying himself too, of course, people and food. His two favorite things.


Here are some of the goodies.
Mmmm, mmmm, pretzels and cheese. I'm pretty sure I gained 10lbs last night.
Hope everyone had a good time last night and Happy New Year to everyone!

Happy New Year to you, too! I was glad to celebrate it on eastern time this year so I could go to bed earlier. Aidan looks like he was wide awake--I hope he slept in for you the next day.
