Ringing in the New Year



Alyssa's New Year's Eve attire

Because Jaden is so scheduled still with bedtime, etc, we decided to have a quiet New Year's Eve at grandma's house. I guess quiet, in the sense that we didn't go out, but not quiet with the amount of people over. Thanks to grandma, we had lots of munchies, to include pigs in a blanket, pizza, chips and dip, crackers and dips, cupcakes, treats, etc.

We played a bunch of games which included Jumping Monkeys, Yahtzee, Cootie, and more! The kids had a blast, as well as the adults. We decided to do some fireworks and sparklers a little early in the evening, as we weren't sure that the little ones would actually make it until midnight. Much to our surprise, they did! We rang in the new year with champagne and sparkling cider! We didn't have a good view of the strip from grandma's balcony, so we watched all the fireworks from downtown of TV. What a great show!

To a great and memorable 2009 and much more excitement and good memories that 2010 will bring us!
