Ringing in 2013: Party of 6

So remember I said I kind of really heart parties? Well, not only did I have a Noon Year's Eve Party with the girls (click HERE if you want to see it); but we also had my in-laws over for the evening. They stayed the night so they didn't have to get on the road with all the crazies with it raining around here. It was a very relaxing evening with yummy food.

 

The girls LOVED that the balloons are still hanging around!

 made my Mom's Homemade Sweet & Sour Meatballs

So with the adults walking through the doorway from the kitchen to the living room, the middle of our sign had to be tacked up.

Jamie refused to smile with me...apparently I have taken too many pictures today

She's starting to wind down (the eyes ARE open)

But Jamie's back up & dancing with the Kayla Genie

Ummmm....she said she was pole dancing. This worries me.

Cowgirl Kayla got in on the horse riding action too

They started to wind down

Jamie was pouting cause Kayla got to pick the quiet time show

But she was quickly made happy when she learned she got to pick which episode of the show to watch

A little quiet time snuggling (again she refused to smile)

Orange balloon to match his outfit

Tried SO HARD to make it to this point cause after 2 parties, I was TIRED

I think I can make it!

 

Yep, I made it to see the Ball Drop for 2013 & I was asleep before it hit New Year's in our time zone
