We decided to stay in last night and indulge in our favorite New Year's past time...appetizers and board games. :) Grandma and Grandpa, and my sister and nieces came over to join in the fun too. We started off with a scrabble match of my Dad and I vs. my Mom and Caroline (a first time player)...of course Grandma's team won as she is the Scrabble Master of the family, we had fun. Kaley and Caroline got their little cousins into some hilarious rounds of "Ring Around the Rosie" and "Duck Duck Goose" too, they are so cute! We nibbled and had a toast with our sparkling grape juice before our guests left. Then the 4 of us cracked out our new "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" game while watching the festivities on TV. That is one fun game I tell ya! Caroline outsmarted us all! We had another family toast for a wonderful 2008 while the ball dropped and called it a year. Hope you all had a safe and Happy New Year and I wish many blessings in 2008! Here are some photos from the silliness:
Caroline and I were the champs of this game, here we are showing off our new hair do's too!
How cute is she?! Everyone says with her new hair cut she looks even more like me now. :)
Looks like I'm raising a couple of lushes here, LOL! Grape juice people...sister toast!
This is our hysterical attempt at a family portrait with Kaley's new camera...LOVE it, ha ha!
I'll leave you with a video toast from Kaley and Caroline...Happy New Year One and All!
