~New Years Eve 2009!~

We had a fabulous, fun filled night on New Year Eve 2009! With family still in town we knew we needed to throw a little party and show them a rockin' good time. We came up with a quick menu, called a few last minute friends, and pulled out the creative juices for decorations. Don't you love those 2010! glasses?! Ryan is a genius!
On the menu: egg rolls, crab rangoon, cheese platters, veggies and dip, roasted red pepper hummus, stuffed mushrooms, amazing artichoke dip (much of this courtesy of Miss Sara's kitchen), punch, sparkling grape juice and chocolate fondue. My mouth is watering just typing this. Delightful!
Showing off our 2010 excitement!
Erin and Ryan, the creator of all 2010 glasses.
Sara and Ryan, the providers of all homemade delightful food at our feast.
My secret to last minute parties? The freezer section at Sam's Club.
Greg, Tiffany, and Jakob, the life of our party! That boy gets so excited and it's contagious!
Our crazy little family, all decked out and ready to ring in the new year!
We played the new years song with the chimes Erin and Ryan got for Christmas and had a blast. Then a few rounds of Celebrity and Catch Phrase while the kiddies ran around reeking havoc in the basement (one of my babies favorite activities). I think everyone had a wonderful time, though most of us didn't make it till midnight... and really can you blame us? Start the new year off right with a good nights sleep. :-)

Happy New Year from our family to yours!
We're excited for all the adventures (big, small, and secret) that await us in 2010!

hmmmm, are you hinting at something specific? You're such a tease! I seriously admire how fun you guys are. You do fun things and are so creative. Thanks for sharing it all to motivate me to be more spontaneous and fun, too!

Adrienne, you're hilarious! No I'm not really hinting at anything specific, though I do love it when Nick has a good secret adventure up his sleeve... so maybe this is a hint for Nick! Surprises and secret adventures are my favorite kind. :-)

Thank you for making New Year's my best one ever... or at least the best one in many many years.
