Welcome 2010!

There is no better way to ring in the new year than with some of your closest friends. Denell, Kevin, Mike and I have been together to celebrate this night for over 10 years. We actually got a little emotional about it tonight...reminiscing back to the days when we looked and felt so much younger! I didn't even have a digital camera back when we started this tradition, but it would be fun to post pictures from our very first New Year's to the present.

Things have certainly changed (for the better)! :)
Kim and Matt so graciously invited everyone over for a family-fun night.
There were 10 kids (6 years old- 11 months old) all having a ball under one roof.

The girls didn't waste a minute...dress up clothes, coloring,

mini plays, and lots of singing and dancing.

The boys didn't want anything to do with the girls upstairs...

they were busy fighting battles, race car driving,

and playing various sports on the Wii.

Time to ring in the New Year...

With all of the young kids, we decided 10:30 was the

perfect time to break out the hats and horns.

Wow! What a ruckus they made!

Happy New Year wishes to all of our family and friends!

The kids had a lot of fun celebrating with their friends...

Nolan has already picked up on the traditions of the holiday,

and told me that we'd have to actually wait until

midnight until we could officially say "Happy New Year's!"

Cheers!!!

Here's to a wonderful year!

May 2010 be filled with good health, happiness,

memorable moments, friendship, and loving families!

Being able to spend another year with such a

wonderful husband and father gives me

a lot to look forward to in the coming year.

Welcome 2010!
