Happy New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Can't believe another whole year has flown by.  And wow, how SOO much has changed!  We're excited to see what 2009 has in store!  

So, we kicked off the year with a bang last night! :)  We hosted a "Wine and Cheesy Christmas Sweater Party!"  It was a blast!  18 people came over in their best "cheesy" Christmas sweaters and we had wine and appetizers and played an intense game of Bunco.  It was very fun and we had a blast with everyone.  Somehow everything is a bit more fun when you're wearing something goofy.  I couldn't take anyone seriously!  Anyways, here are some pics and hopefully we don't offend any of you who may own a sweater like the ones we are wearing! :)  :) :) :) 

These three brought in the New Year like a charm.  They are the best girls ever.  We put them to sleep before everyone got here and they slept THROUGH IT ALL.  It was unbelievable and amazing.  We were shouting BUNCO at the top of our lungs all night...not to mention the horns and whistles and screams of Happy New Year.  Somehow, I think they are used to sleeping through the noises of EACH OTHER, that all of our commotion was no big deal.  :)  I love my babies!!!!  It felt like we had a night out...even though we didn't! :) 

Below you'll see our lovely "get up."  Ryan sported super tight Christmas plaid pants...along with one of his mom's (or i mean - someone else's) fur poinsettia sweaters....complete with a tight red glittery cami underneath.  GRREEATT. :)  

Some of the guys...and some of the girls....

The biggest partier of us all....little Jer.

Happy New Year!!!!
The whole sha-bang!  :)  Don't we look GREAT?! :) Notice the tall blonde guy in the middle back...he couldn't find a Christmas sweater, so he took an old sweater and poked Christmas lights that actually LIT up through the sweater.  Fabbbuulous! :)
