Holiday Festivities

We decided to throw a big New Years Bash at our new house to break it in. Luckily nothing got broken or spilled on. We had such a great time. We had a great turn out with all of our friends and almost everyone stayed all night and by all night I mean till 1:30am. We played Rock Band all night long, ate, laughed, and had a great time.
The only two kids left awake at midnight, all the others either went home or crashed at our house. Emma and Hudson had so much fun having bubbly, blowing horns, staying up late, and throwing pops.
"CHEERS! Happy New Year!"

The festivities table. We had so much crap to eat, Velveeta chili dip, chex mix, scones, little wieners, pop, dips, and more. Its a good thing the parties are over so I can start up on South Beach again. Between being pregnant and all the holidays I need to lose about 10lbs so Trent and I starting next week are doing South Beach. Can't wait to look good again.
But oh my all the holiday food was so worth it. hehe
The boy band rockin' out. They were really good too. Mckay on the guitar would crack me up every time he sang. He would belt it and I mean belt it. He sang or should I say Yelled, "Sabotage" by the Beastie Boys so loud and good and it was after 12:00. We were so worried all the neighbors could hear. We were laughing so hard, he knew every word and totally got into it. Too bad I didn't get that on camera.
Another band rockin' out. I hope the neighbors didn't hear us. Not very good to move into a new neighborhood and make noise. We played this game until 1:30. I'm sure Trent is super glad Santa brought him Rock Band for Christmas. It was a huge success.
The Girl Band rockin' out, soon to be on tour.
(Don't you just love my beautiful curtains? Not! I can't wait to take them down.)
My babies in their Christmas Best. Aren't they the cutest ever? In every picture Ruby is doing a funny jaw thing, she says "cheese" every time I take a pic.

Oh I just love these stinkers, don't you just want to squish them?

Every Christmas time my high school girlies and I all get together or try to.
This year due to weather and family parties not everyone could make it, we missed you guys, but we had so much fun catching up. Its so funny how its always just like old times.
We went to Hug Hes our favorite and old time hang out, plus Hillaree's parents own it.
We all live in different cities and states but we're all in town for Christmas so its the one time of year most of us get to see each other. Can't wait till next time.

It sounds like your New Years was a lot like ours... Although, we got tired of rock band and moved onto Wii boxing... For hours and hours on end! So fun! Happy New Year! I hope that 2009 brings you guys a lot of happiness!!
