New Year's Eve

We had a fun New Year's Eve at Ma and Pa's house. We ate all of our favorite New Year's Eve food and had one rockin' dance party!


 Gwen found Uncle Ben's big bear. She loved kicking it's face.


 Ares threw an awesome fit because he didn't want his color on the wii to be pink....even though he likes to play with Tessa's purses.




 Everyone had fun dancing. I loved watching Andrew, Danny, and Ben do "the Carlton". 




 We had our traditional Shirley Temples. Tessa really wanted an umbrella in her drink, so she improvised with a pirate ship flag. 
 I warned you, Katy!
We played our favorite New Years Eve game, Scattergories. It was hilarious as usual.

Even Gwen had fun "playing" the game. 
Poor Adam wasn't feeling so hot, so we came home around 9pm and snuggled the kids in their beds. Eric and I made some hot chocolate and watched our favorite show, "Downton Abbey" while we waited for midnight to roll around.  
We are so thankful for our blessings and our trials from this past year. We have learned many things from the hard times-mainly to be grateful for what we have. We are so thankful that Gwen joined our family this year and that she has been so healthy and happy. 
 A new year full of many new memories and adventures is just around the corner!We are anxious to see what 2013 holds for our family.
