New Year 2008!

Happy New Year!!!!!

"Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man."

~Benjamin Franklin

Here we all are getting ready to make our rounds New Years Eve!!

This year, we continued the tradition of ringing in the new year with good friends and good neighbors. We party-hopped through the neighborhood, stopping at 3 different homes before returning to our own!

It was pretty chilly that night, so we were all bundled up...
The last stop was at our neighbor's, the Holbrooks, who share our cul-de-sac with us, and who also have 4 children. The kids shot off fireworks, and we all wore party hats and blew horns to ring in the new year!

This is Lisa Holbrook, probably handing out noise makers and party hats to the kids!

Here are Dan and Alex Holbrook setting off fireworks!

The kids had a great time staying up late and making too much noise! Courtney was definitely in her element!

Can you hear the noise through this picture??????

YEAH!!!!

Avery looks a little worried... But check out her party garb!

It's midnight! Happy New Year!!!

What a great bunch to ring in a new year with!!! Here I am with all little guys...

Thanks to everyone who invited us to spend time with you and your family this new year's eve!

All of the kids managed to stay awake until 2008, but when we returned home, Ashlyn Belle crashed HARD! She is in the forefront of this picture, crashed out in our bed. Look at her mouth hanging open!!!

May you see God's grace in 2008, and may He bless you with His peace and good health.
