Ringing in the New Year

This year we rang in the New Year at my sister Monica's home. It was again a super fun evening full of lots of yummy food, great company and this year we added UGLY sweaters. Let me just say there were some doozies. This is always such a fun night, and has become quite a fun family tradition to get together and exchange gifts, eat yummy food, and play lots of fun games.

Okay so if I had to give my 2 cents. . .  Hayley (mother goose sweater) and Segi (bright with delightful fringes) were the top winners! These sweaters were really some winners!

Most of the kids taking part in all the fun!

This is a fun night as we do our Family Christmas gift exchange! Karlee loved being able to watch everyone open their gifts, and then it was her turn. She got some darling Disney Princess dolls from her cousin.

Karlee excited for her present!

This night is full of yummy food, and lots of fun exciting games. My family LOVES to play games! Everyone plays games: the kids played a fun game called Headbandz (super cute 20 questions game), we played the following games trigger, jungle speed, and Joe Name It.

Okay so I really had to add this picture of Rob asleep in this post, as it makes me laugh because this is usually me (asleep on new years eve). But this year looks like Rob was the one who couldnt make it to midnight! Let me just add that I stayed awake the entire night!!!!

Happy New Year!!! 2012
