Ever since we had children we have spent New Year's alone toasting at midnight. Well this year we decided to have friends over who have basically been doing the same thing. Well to tell the truth my dear friend Kristy
coming in to town to visit convinced us to get together. It gave us 4 girlfriends a chance to get together. 
I feel so blessed to still be so close with friends that I have had since I was 12 years old. All our children had the chance to get together as well. Playing with the beloved ball popper, 
having dinner together, 
racing cars on Wii 
& celebrating this boy's birthday.
I think Jimmy's face says it all. All the kids felt so cool to be able to stay up so late. 10:30 to be exact which is 3 hours past their bedtimes. 
Our night started off with a potluck dinner & pictures of course. Me & Johnnie.
Larisa & Robert. 
Kimi & John. 
Then once all the children went to bed it was time to pull out Rock Band. It was a fun time for all. Check out Larisa's hair in this photo of her dancing with her 8 month pregnant belly. 
And it makes adults do some crazy dancing (if you can call it that)
but hey it was fun. So fun in fact & LOUD that it woke up Jimmy who wanted to join the party 
& have his 1st sip of beer. 
After toasting the new year we stayed up rocking it out until 2:30am which is crazy late for us. From our house to yours Happy New Year!

Love Jimmy's New Year's King pic! So many good photos and looks like you all had a great time. Seems Wii is the way to go this year -- Krys and her friends were doing the same on New Year's Eve. Rick looks like he was really in his element and back in the old 'band days' mode. Very cute shot of the two of you at the end.
Happy New Year to all!
I'm impressed!!! We did not even make it to midnight :-) Rock Band looks like fun...we may have to think about getting that one.
omg i CANNOT believe you stayed up that late! we made it to 11 (and have friends over, too, with their kids - the kids then watched like 3 movies in a row!) - and then checked fisher's blood sugar. we had to give him some juice and i fell asleep waiting to check him again. ron woke me up at 12:08 and said happy new year and we checked fisher again and went to bed:) woo!
That looks like fun. You are all jammin'. We stayed up and watched the fireworks over Pikes Peak from our driveway. It was too cold for us to do anything else!
Happy New Year and Birthday Joey!
Looks like you guys had a fun night! We actually stayed up pretty late ourselves! (For the first time in 5 years!)
