Happy New Year! ~ 2009

All the grandkids on my side of the family headed up to Nani a Papa's house this year so we could go out and enjoy the New Year with all my siblings and their spouses!  It was so much fun for us and the kids!!  I have been blessed with two fabulous sisters and brother-in-laws and one amazing brother and sister-in-law.  We started our evening at the Cheesecake Factory and then went to my brother's house for dessert and games.  We played the Wii, Apples to Apples, and a very fun spouse game!  We rang in the New Year with Sparkling Grape Juice and Dick Clark!  :)  This was the first time we all spent an evening together without the kids, and although we missed them, we had so much fun!! 

The cousins also had fun!  Nani and Papa had 5 children 6 and under!!  They are so brave!  Gilli got to stay up until 9:30.  Grady and Lauren stayed up until 10:30 and Abby and Grant got to watch the ball drop at midnight.  This was a first for them!  They all enjoyed a book read by Nani and sparkling grape juice before bed. 

Cheers!
Grady cracks me up in this picture!  I think he liked his sparkling grape juice!!
Thanks Nani and Papa!  We can't wait to do it again next year!!!  :)

Oooh, 9:30 p.m.! Gilly made it longer than Myla, who crashed at 8:30 p.m. I'm glad you got an adult night out - much needed with 3 kids! :)
