Welcome 2007!!


This New Years was nothing short of fun, despite most of our family being plagued with head colds, most of them were able to get together to celebrate for part of the night. We had them over to celebrate Bills birthday, So with TONS of food we started our celebrations!
Bills moms friend made an Anniversary cake for Bill & I to celebrate our 7th Anniversary. The kids had soo much fun. We set up Ethan's new art easel and had everyone write their New Years wishes when they came in. Ethan made sure the second they came in that they were at the board. We played card games, ate and ate Did I mention the tons of food?? The funniest things that I can remember from the night are Ethan getting a group of adults to play Operation at 11:00 at night! That was so funny! First he mentioned Candyland, I was dying. But they all played along! Then Elena getting one of Bills friends to play house. THAT was too cute! Natalie went to bed at normal time and amazingly slept through all the commotion but Ethan and Elena were up until 1:30 AM!! I think they would've kept going but I made them stop playing, in fact Ethan was in a heated game of Go Fish and Elena was getting a new coloring book to start a new page. We had a champagne toast at midnight and the kids had bubbly pop in fancy glasses which they thought was the best thing ever. Elena of course had to wear a pretty dress so the one pic is the girls giving a New Years kiss, the other is showing off Natalies new CHEESE grin, and the one of Ethan is his little party guy he made.
Was a great way to welcome in 2007. Now on to those resolutions.......
