New Years with Great Friends

Well its a whole new year and it started with a great time with some close friends. I wanted to take a few minutes and reflect back on this last year. It has been a great year, we have made some close friends that we will become even closer to in the future. The kids have all grown some more. Kylee turned 4 and keeps us laughing. Chelsey turned 8, and entered the 3rd grade. It started out a little rocky, but I think she is finding her place. Last but not least Isabella turned 3 and had a great birthday with some close friends to help celebrate. She is potty trained now and we are very excited to be done with diapers. Yay! As for Justin and I we are both happy and doing well. Justin has been lucky to keep working with the slowness of the economy. We have made some trips back to see family and friends. We have watched close friends get married, have babies, and watch my lil sis turn into lady. She had her junior prom this last year and she was gorgeous! Justin also got to reminice on memories with his high school friends. They had their 10 yr reunion and we had so much fun attending that. Our holidays were filled with love and fun. As for this next year...I can't wait to see how it goes. I am sure it will be just as great.

For new years we had some close friends come celebrate with us. We invited Angie, Amy & Kevin and their kids. We also invited our other friends Kris and A.J. But due to them moving, they caught a bad cold and had to decline to get better. The kids all partied and played with their toys. They watched movies and ate junk food. We set up a slumber party in Chelsey's room and they all just had a great time. While us adults stayed out in the front room and kitchen. We mostly just chatted, and Justin made his awesome home-made pizza. Then a little later we played some games. The kids stayed up to bring in the new year with us, and were so excited to watch the ball drop. All in all it was a great time, and something we will look back and remember.


Toasting to a great new year and some great friends.



The kids watching the ball drop. They were very happy and on a sugar high. How we ever got them to sleep..I have no idea..ha ha



Miss Angie all dolled up. I cut about 7 inches off her hair and then layered it all up. To finish I flat ironed it and left a little curl, so she was ready for the new year with a new look.


A new year with some new friends. We haven't know Kevin and Amy for too long. But already we have made some memories that will last. We have alot of similairities and even our kids have become great friends. Can't wait for more memories to come!



We are always having a blast with these two.



The girls chattin' and gigglin' away!
