Happy New Year 2009!!

We went to Dan and Alicia Sorensens home for the New Year. Her sister Cara and husband were there too. We decided to allow our children to stay up until the actual midnight, instead of the imposed 9:00 midnight from the past years. The adults played Compatability and Settlers while Ryan fell asleep by 8, and the kids played extremely well together and watched movies. Alicia and I went to the Stake Youth Dance for about an hour and a half, but returned to witness the New Year. The kids wore hats and pulled "poppers." It was a lot of fun!

The next day Emma realized that I had forgotten to bring the silly string to the party and so demanded that we redo the event. I was all game!! So we limited it to the living room, each of us got a can and we went to town. For those of you out there thinking "What a mess!" or "She is sooooo crazy!"(ie. Michelle) It only took about 10 minutes to clean up, it didn't ruin anything, and it was a TON of fun!
