Happy New Year!

This year I was off from work and was able to ring in the New Year with my family. We were celebrating with Randy's family. Since we live kind of far, we went over with all our stuff ready for a big sleep over. We ate delicious food prepared all by my mother-in-law! I had been thinking about the food all week and couldn't wait to go eat.

We played games --- Scattergories was the game of the night. We laughed sooooooo hard ------ LOVED IT!!!! The kids got to pop fireworks outside with the men.

Callie watching with her daddy.

Micah playing with the sparklers.

The boys setting up their stash.


We stayed up till midnight, wished everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR and called it a "year" (hehe). Of course, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law made up a wonderful breakfast for us. I ate ALL day!

I was particularly excited for New Year's Day because Leigh was coming home. She was able to spend Christmas and New Year's with my parents in New Zealand. To pass the time, we went and watched Avatar at the theaters. Good movie!

Finally, it was time to go pick up my Leigh. We all went together and waited at the airport. The doors opened and there she was after her 8 hour flight. We were all glad to have her home!

Nah, you didn't miss this post. I just put it up last night, but dated it for the day it all went down.

So clever to back-date like that, Malie...That was a fun New Year's Eve...brings back memories of all our New Year's Eves spent in Hawaii with all the firecrackers etc. We were really sad to see Leigh go, but she was really excited about getting back home to the family...We miss her and all of you! love, mom
