Happy New Year

Our kids have a blast ringing in the New Year. We usually go to my parents house for the big event. This year we almost didn't. They weren't feeling well and neither was I. We ended up last minute deciding that we felt up to it. We are glad we did. Every year there is plenty of good food and even better company. The Kobers always come if in town and this year is no exception.(long time family friends) We played Pinochle. For all of my sibling you heard me right. Jeron and I were F-I-N-A-L-L-Y inducted to the club. I bet your all jealous. Then after the ball drops we eat crab legs and make fun of Mom. It is always a good time. We missed all who weren't able to come this year. Maybe 2010, isn't that weird.

The kids always bang pans. I think Ellie thought this was the greatest thing ever.

Can't start the new year off without a kiss. Yummy!

Elsie showing us that she is so excited that it is the New Year...and yes that is at midnight and she is wide awake like always.


I can't believe that it is 2009.

Glad to see my kiddo isn't the only little night owl out there. Elsie's smile is so contagious!

Such fun. I love Pinnocle, but it has been so long since I have played it. You will have to re-teach me. I love games!!! I missed this post too. I didn't realize you had posted others.

BTW - at least Elsie is smiling and not screaming at midnight, like normal, right?

Brynli's comment to you kissing Jeron - "Ewe, Gross!" It's nothing personal :). Looks like you had a much more fun night than we did - I'm glad for it!
