New Year's Eve

New Year's Years has become one of our most anticipated days of the year. We get together with family, eat yummy food, exchange Christmas gifts, play games, and ring in the new year. This year Troy and Segi hosted the evening. It was super fun - Thanks!!!. Segi decorates so cute and had her house so perfect for the night. The dinner was with a Mexican Theme: yummy tamales, enchiladas, homemade salsa, Jalapeño roll ups (a fam fav),  and lots of other super delicious foods.

Most of  the Grandkids.

Again Rob's work was super busy (broken record) and Rob was unable to come down with Karlee and I. Karlee and I hitched a ride with Monica and her family and Rob came down after he got home from work. Rob made it down to Troys house around 10 pm and everyone seemed to be excited to see him.

We are a family that loves games!!! Another fun thing about New Year's Eve is my mom and dad bring up all the new games they got for Christmas. Its a fun night of playing games, cousins playing together, and spending time visiting.

Super fun night with all the kids playing together. It so fun to see these cousins spending time together.

 It was time to ring in the New Year and we did with lots of excitement and flare. Matt had brought down some fireworks and so all the guys and kids went out into the FREEZING weather to celebrate. Rob even dared some of the kids to go out barefoot (CRAZY!!! - but he got a couple takers). 

These Barefoot Crazies!!!

We celebrated the New Year's with a family toast!

Karlee didn't quite make it to Midnight. So I quietly welcomed in the New Year holding my most prized possession  Best way to start the new year I think!!!

Happy 2013!!!!
