The A Way

New Years Eve!

You know the quote, time flies when you're having fun. This definitely applied on New Years Eve. It went so fast that Brian had to set his alarm on his cell phone so we didn't miss midnight!! Also Jay put it very well..."it was so fun, that he remembers about two hours where people were just giggling - and we don't really know what about" (yes my friend Jay said giggling). It goes down as one of my favorite New Years Eve's and I have spent a lot of New Years with these hooligans :)!

Group picture. Take a closer look. Yes ~~Pippi~~ Sarah does appear to be a figment of our imagination. Ive never laughed so hard. So many jokes flew after seeing

that pic...this is what happens when you set a timer on a camera

Another group shot...much better!

The originals. I have spent more New Years with these ladies then anyone else. So much fun!

Although, this is what happens when we allow Bobbi to take a picture...Zoom much!

And this is what happens when we allow Matt to take a picture. We end up with Jay in the background.

These girls and I were all on the dance team together in high school...good times :)

Renee, Hope, Sarah, Bobbi and I (sorry for the sweaty mess that I am...that is what happens when you play just dance all night)

Me and Jodi :)

Tim and Kyle

Me and Dr. Steinkruger...almost Dr. anyways!

Me and Sarah!!

Brian and Jodi - munching on the amazing Taco Inn!

Matt and I - and Tim's hand! Nice!

Trooper of the night. Yes she is pregnant and loving the night. They didn't leave until 2:30, amazing lady!!

Hope and her straight hair. Killing Rock band!

Bobbi and Jay reenacting the 2005 New Years...only less dangerous.

Its not a party until Jay sings...the best!

I love this photo. This pretty much sums up the night. So many different things going on at once. Bobbi is in control of Rock band, Reese on the drums, Jay singing, Jodi playing guitar, Scott playing basketball, and Renee chatting someone up.

Bobbi and Renee playing just dance

Bobbi and I

ITS MIDNIGHT ALREADY!!

NO WAY!! WHERE DID THE NIGHT GO!

Much love!!

Reese and Kyle cant get enough of each other

Hope rocking the mic - as Sarah pretends to know what is going on.

Kyle holding the littlest bottle ever!!

Seriously Matt speared Kyle so many times...it was one of those nights.

Two pregnant gals. Wearing the same shirt...awe :)! Both adorable.

Get down with your bad self

Thanks to all for making 2012 start out amazing. I will post my resolutions tomorrow, and I will look back on 2011!

Christmas with the Anderson's part 2

The girls all playing Santa

Kael looking adorable!

Haylee opening the gift from us!

Camdyn got a pillow pet...it was perfect!

Cade got a Bears night light...he was so excited!

It was another great Christmas, the kids got so many awesome things. Each time they were just so excited to see what they got. Everyone found the perfect gifts - and the kids really loved it all. I also loved what I got from Shannon and Jason - it was seriously too much...they went overboard. 8 wine glasses (4 red, 4 white) and two lipglosses from Victorias Secret. I LOVED it!! Thanks again!

Christmas at my parents

Also a successful day - the kids loved it all!

PLAYDOUGH - thanks mom...lol!

Suh shirt from Billy!!

Barbie makeup was the ONLY thing Camdyn repeated over and over again that she wanted...so of course Nicole came through and got it for her.

The best gift - in my opinion was the cape and mask...could he be any cuter on his bike with his super hero outfit :)

Cam loved her new bike!

Testing them out on our seasonably warm Christmas day!

Cade picked up on it right away, here he is saying let go dad I got it!

Christmas morning!!

Santa came this year again, even though Cam had a little nerves that she was on the naughty list :). Unfortunatly for "Santa" the kids got some gifts that took a total of 2.5 hours to put together. "Santa" hardly had enough energy to eat the cookies and drink the milk once 2am rolled around. It was all worth it though, once 7am came around (yes Cam is totally my daughter and work up as soon as a little sun peaked through the blinds) and we got to see the looks on their precious little faces. Just like the year before it was all worth it.

Camdyns gifts from Santa - a Barbie

house!!

Cade's Santa gifts - Train table

But in true child fashion the candy in the stockings were the favorite. Had I Santa known...they would have just got Candy :)

Cars was a big hit for Cade!

Its a BIG doll house! Which became even cooler when she opened her Bieber doll, and realized it could also be a house for him!

The blocks had to be opened right away!

on to the next!

took just enough time away from the gifts to smile!

The apron I made her!

Football from Camdyn

All in all it was a great Christmas at our house and the kids were very polite with their thank yous!!

Christmas with the Anderson's

Great Grandma and Cam playing Christmas Carols

Cade practicing his winking...watch out ladies...

Grandpa and Cade

Great Grandma showing Cade a few notes!

Seriously Cade jumped, screamed and pointed at Great Grandma all at once when he opened his movie..it was hilarious!

Wrestling then took place!

Crazy girl!!

Cousin love!!!

HUGS!

Cam, Saige and Cade...so adorable!

Christmas with the Bouwens'

The entire night grandpa was getting "driver" jokes. Clearly it was a parting gift for buying a new car :)...atleast he looks adorable!

2nd cousins...they had a blast!!

Santa even came to visit!!

Cade loves Santa

Each got a turn to tell Santa what they wanted, and then Santa gave them a gift...it was a HIT!

CHEESE!

Seriously, this kid loves to smile

Whose this big kid :)

The great grand kids waiting for their gifts...check Cade out. This is his new thing. Silent temper tantrums...he has no idea how poorly these work. Him being quiet is a treat for us...so he never gets his way because of them. Wonder when he will figure it out. Its almost like he is planking...lol!
