Celebrating the New Year!

This year we rang in the New Year with some of our close friends and neighbors. Brett and Nicole Rowe and Joe and Crystal Albrecht and their kids, Cambree and Tevan joined us. 

Our festivities began around 7 p.m. and we started the evening out by munching on appetizers, drinking yummy slush and eating some delicious desserts. After gorging ourselves, the kids played downstairs, while the adults played several games against each other. We had a great time playing games and visiting. When the New Year approached we put on party hats, shot off a cool confetti cannon for the kids and blew on squawkers. The kids seemed to have a great time, including us big kids. 



After we rang in the New Year we headed downstairs to our mak- shift photo booth. I had found a cool background and some photo-booth props at Wal-Mart and had set it all up in the basement. The kids and adults had a great time taking a few pictures before heading home. As a party gift, I wrapped up some Hershey Kisses in some party bags and printed out cute labels that said, "Midnight Kisses" for everyone to take home. It was such a fun evening spent with some of our great friends.

Happy New Year!!


We ended up celebrating the New Year with the kids this year. We had so much fun and made Fondue for dinner! The kids had a blast eating the Fondue with their little fondue forks. After dinner, we let the kids set of some poppers to celebrate the new year!! It was fun to see them get so excited! After each firework they would yell, "Happy New Year!" 


For dessert, we opted out of doing our traditional Chocolate Fondue and I made a delicious Fruit Pizza. It was a nice light dessert to such a filling dinner. 


We are looking forward to what 2012 has to offer! We hope that it will be a great year!!
