New Years Eve!

Happy New Year!

Welcome 2009

We brought in the New Year with our friends Russ and Melissa and Matt and Celeste.

We played games and ate all night long. It was great fun!

We had A lot of  yummy food. I took the picture when the food was almost gone.

I made homemade mini buns and we had BBQ pulled pork and turkey sandwiches, 

Chips and guacamole and cheese queso dip, chicken chalupas, shrimp, 

spinach and artichoke dip, carmel popcorn, sca-doodles, chocolates and on and on. 

We ate all night long. It was an appetizer buffet.

We played Rock Band. Russ did really well on the drums and Celeste can belt it out. 

She's AWESOME!

Melissa gave it a try and did a great job too.

Go Melissa, Russ and Neil.

Neil getting his Rock on. Go Rock STAR!

Russ and Neil cozying up for a nice rock ballad. Ahhhh Sweet.

12:00 struck Happy New Year. Welcome 2009

There was a lot of fire works in the neighborhood.

Kinsey had to work until 10:30 then she came home and hung out with her friend Shalise.

Kinsey and Shalise banged pans at midnight which is our girls tradition.

Sammy was with friends and then they came back and we had a room full of girls sleep over.

Aaron went to a party and then had late night Halo fun at the Willis Halo room.

We all stayed up until way late I think around 4. 

Holiday Wrap-Up

I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday Season. 

We sure did and I enjoyed every minute of the time I had with my family.

I haven't done that many up loads and so here is my catch up...

We had a nice Christmas Eve Dinner. 

Prime Rib, Baked Potatoes & homemade rolls.

I am so grateful for so many blessings. 

Having my children all home is the best.

We played lots of games. My favorite. 

I got a new game Wits & Wagers. 

Its a really fun game. We played it many times and everyone liked it.

We played Rock Band a few hundred times. 

Everyone is getting so good. 

Just call us The Warners!

Neil is the pro at the drums. He is so fun to watch.

We got new P.J.'s and had lots of fun, laughing and spending time together.

We got presents that we wanted so much.

And some surprises.

We had stockings full of fun and traditions.

We got lots of sleep, had warm fires and yummy food.

We gave presents to those we love.

We were grateful to have Aaron with us this year.

Look at the cool warrior he brought to us from Mexico.

We had friends come and have to go. (Sorry Sammy)

Max was the present Kinsey gave Sammy but he was sick.

Hopefully soon Sammy will get a new friend.

We enjoyed the snow and went sledding several times.

And we gave Service. Which was the most fun of all.
