New Year's Eve

We started out the evening going to eat Chinese. We had Dan & Alicia's family and Jeph come with us, and we were able to have Denise & Don and family and my Mom. We have tried to make this a tradition for New Year's eve, ever since we were married because the first time my Husband met my family was at a Chinese Restaurant on New Years (which my family started doing way before I was married) So we thought we would make it a tradition, even when it was even just Derek and I.Dan, Alicia and the boys.Garrick just barely peeking over the table top.Denise, Don, Matthew, Robert and Mom. Of course we had to get pictures with the hats and horns.

Birthday Celebration on New Year's Eve
Since Haden and Connor both have birthdays so close to the New Year, we took the opportunity to give them their gifts and sing Happy Birthday. Haden got his Star Wars outfit for his Bear.Connor's birthday was coming up, but we celebrated early and he got his Star War's outfit for his bear too.Blowing out the candles.After the restaurant and birthday celebration, we settled down and played some games. It was a lot of fun. Garrick was just starting to get around on the floor and he found his dad's leg under the table and it was just so cute, I had to take a picture.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Toasting to the New Year. Hope it is a good one.Denise and Don enjoying a little bubbly (sparkling apple juice)A kiss for Good Luck for the New Year.Hope all of you had a good New Year's Eve and hope it has gone good for you so far.
