Happy New Year!

We usually stay home on New year's Eve and chill out as a family. With young kids, we didn't want to leave them home with a babysitter, and we also didn't want to take them out anywhere late. This year one of our neighbor friends invited us to their "neighborhood, family friendly, party". We thought that sounded like fun so we walked over to their house for awhile. There were 5 families including us there. There were kids ranging in age from 20 months up to 10 years old. Their house was chaos! ;)
Here are some of the pictures of the kids playing:

Samantha making the top spin

Samantha riding their rocking horse. (Sus and I thought we had the only 2 Rocky's, but guess not. :( )

Marc dressing up with all the "girly" dress up stuff

Samantha ready for battle, wearing a pot on her head

Rob, the dad of the house, plays hockey. Samantha decided she wanted to try his helmet on

We got to Kris & Rob's house about 7:00 and left about 10:00. Samantha was starting to get a little cranky from being overly tired. We came home, put Samantha to bed, and played games with Marc for awhile while we waited for midnight to come. As soon as we got home, Marc turned the tv on one of the countdown shows. Little Marc sat down in front of the tv and watched for awhile waiting for the ball to drop...he was VERY excited for the ball to drop.
We played Electronic Toss Across and Sorry Sliders waiting for midnight. Sorry Sliders is a really cute game!! :)

Once midnight hit I took some pictures. This is what Samantha was doing at midnight.
Marc actually did very well for staying up 4 hours past his bed time. :)


We had a great night...lots of fun with great friends and family. :)
We had a great 2009 and are looking forward to another great year in 2010 (man it seems weird to type that!)
