And A Happy New Year....

For New Year's, our good friends have a party in their cul de sac.  They put their TV and Wii in their garage, everyone brings food, fireworks, chairs and bikes for kids to go crazy.

Most of the pictures with fireworks turned out blurry with all the smoke, but oh well. Isabelle really got into the fireworks this year. 



Isabelle, Ella, and Addy.  These three are hilarious.  Ella is 8 but her and Isabelle play perfectly.  Addy is the youngest in a family of boys.  Isabelle and Addy have dubbed themselves "best sisters" since they don't have any sisters.  They have lots of play dates and have a blast together. 


Poor Michael....he was so excited talking about fireworks all day, but he got plowed in the street by a big kid and bonked his head bad enough for a concussion very early on in the evening. He didn't want anything to do with the fireworks. You know he's not feeling good when that happens!  So I spent the night snuggled with him in my lap waking him up every so often.  Mike got him out to do a couple of things, but he didn't last long.


It was a fun night with friends.  It got a little chilly towards the end, but we just scooted towards the firepit and enjoyed spending the night outside!
