2009

We celebrated the new year with some friends in our ward. We all have kids, so we just got together and decided we'd hang out as long as the kids lasted!


There was lots of food and friends! The kids even colored a little "Happy New Year" paper.



And what's a party without a little Guitar Hero World Tour??



Hudson tried on his friend's purple crocs (I thought it was really funny because Abe doesn't like crocs at all)




Getting ready to celebrate the new year! (it was really about 9:30.... that's when most of the kids we ready to go, so we celebrated a little early :))



Hudson and Abe popped one of the confetti things!




We tried to get all the kids together for a picture, but this is all I ended up with. They looked really cute with their hats and blow horns, but none of them wanted to sit still for a picture, oh well!


We ended up staying until about 11:30 when Hudson just couldn't take anymore (we were the last ones to leave, though). He went to bed about 11:45- just couldn't hang on any longer! :) Abe and I watched the ball drop on tv and had our own little sparkling cider to celebrate.


We hope everyone had a happy new year! I taught Hudson how to say "Happy New Year" and it sounds so cute. I have it on video, but am having trouble uploading it. If I can get it to work I will post it later.


Hope this year is great!

PS- thanks for hosting Jessica!
