First item of biz, the real reason we all came together to celebrate...Jon's Birthday!
Kids getting things started with Just Dance2.
The Birthday Boy was being funny man and making it impossible for Bree to take this pic...but she out-foxed him alright and got 2 good ones (the other one ended up at the bottom of the post for some reason).
The moment the kids were all waiting for...out into the frozen tundra we go!
It was quite the fireworks show. But some opted for a warmer seat....
Pretty smart that B-day boy. But if he was really smart, he would have locked the doors....
Do I see one in shorts and one with no shoes on? Where are their parents? (oh yeah, in the warm van:).
Counting it down....
Getting the bubbly ready, but having to use those scouting skillz cuz we forgot the bottle opener!
Cheers!
Jer just wanted me to mention for the record that it's only Sparkling Cider!
You know, I have to admit that this is my favorite way to spend New Year's Eve. Give me a party at home with family and friends and there's nowhere I'd rather be. Throw in a few games and yummy food and I might lock the doors and not let anyone leave. (I was seriously sad when midnight came and everyone started packing up to go). Some favorites of the night were Brittany Hayes, Tik Tok repeated a million times, horns that should have been kept hidden, Chad's New Year's resolutions, Jon's hot van move then him getting forced out by little people, controversial fireworks, Amber lighting up to light the fireworks, every single kid (and adult) making it to midnight, and Jer's big smile when everyone left and he casually notified me that he won every game.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
and Happy Birthday Jon!
