New Year's

This past New Year's, like the last 8 previous ones, we spent with some of our dear friends.  This year, we had everyone up to spend the night at the lakehouse and celebrate New Year's Eve.  It worked out great because we were able to have all the kids play together and the adults were able to ring in the New Year's at midnight (and not 8 pm so that we could leave and get the kids in the bed) and enjoy spending time with each other!! :)  The kids (6 of them ages 3 and under) had a blast playing together and of course the adults enjoyed taking pictures of them and trying to keep them from injuring themselves!! HA!!  After we ate a delicious meal (thanks Papa Carl!!) we got the kids ready for bed and then after they all were asleep, us adults hung out, played some games, watched the ball drop and talked! It was a sweet time spent with everyone and we had a wonderful New Years!!  Saturday morning we ate a tasty breakfast, hung out and let the kids play some more!!  When nap time came around, everyone (and I mean, everyone) rested!!  :)  After nap, everyone packed up and headed home and Bruce, Parker and I stayed at the lakehouse for the rest of the weekend and just relaxed!!  It was a great  time and thanks everyone for the precious memories!!
