Ringing in the New Year!

Traditionally the kids go to my parents for an overnighter, but due to our long lasting colds we felt it was best if the kids stayed closer to home and rang in the New Year, eastern time. So, we joined our church friends at the Finch's home (Oh, you brave souls!) in Sutter and rang in the year at 9:00 p.m. At the end of the night, Keagan and Bethany joined Landon and Claire for a sleepover (God bless you, Casey!) while Hailey rang in the New Year again with Brian and I at midnight.
They started early with the sweets.
The garage was heated and set up with various carnival games for the kids.
I just love this photo of Kelden. He is in a room full of girls and having the time of his life!

Bethany had the best time!
By this point, Kelden was ready to turn in for the night.
"Come on, Keagan! You won't get cooties from a toast."
"Dad, you have definitely been holding out on me."
God bless you Jamie! Sam and Syd are so blessed to have you as their mom. Thank you for opening your home and inviting our family to a wonderful party.
Casey and her kiddoes. I don't know who looks more tired, mom or the kids.
These three kids could not get enough of the various nose makers. Too cute!
I think these three are running on adrenaline and sugar!
Happy New Year Everyone!
