It's become a beloved tradition for Sam and I to host a New Years Eve Party and New Years Day Brunch every year with Samuel's family and we love it! Actually, I use the term "host" lightly, because it really is a family affair, with everyone helping out. Around 7 PM aunts & uncles, cousins & grandparents come pouring through the door bearing yummy appetizers and treats to last through the night.
This year, was the year of the Wii, and all ages had a chance to play some really fun games! Most notable was Grandma & Grandpa who boxed several times just before midnight. This is huge, especially considering "Big Gar" usually heads to bed at about 8:30 pm!
Every year we always almost miss the countdown to the New Year. We never keep the T.V. on until those few moments when the ball drops, but when it does the air is littered with party popper streamers.
Here's a photo of Elizabeth, Sam's baby sister, her husband Houston, and their new baby, Veronica-only weeks old. Houston is Owen's favorite, favorite uncle. And Veronica is my most favorite new baby!
And last but not least, the kids party pretty hard right along with the adults. This year they started falling asleep at about 2:30 PM and they just kind of passed out all over. This little guy is Mason, he's the son of Sam's sister Leah, and he took a fancy to our Sleeping Beauty dress and wouldn't take it off. Now this is a photo to keep and share with his future fiance!
Happy New Year everyone!
We love you!

That picture of Mason cracks me up. Maybe because I know that Luke is somewhere nearby in the Cinderella dress.
Love the pic of Mason! That's gonna be torture for him when this picture shows up in front of a girlfriend or a good bribery! Too funny!
