New Years Eve!

New Year's Eve was pretty special this year.  Because of Jeremy and Katee's wedding gift being a trip to Disneyland, Kim, Carrie and their children were all coming to Southern California and due to arrive at our house before midnight.  Joanna took the kids to the beach in the early part of the day (Heather had had stomach flu through the night, but recovered quickly), and after dinner we hung out, Face Timed with Aunt Michelle and kept a toasty fire going.  Sariah even helped with the wood and cozied up next to the fire when it wasn't being stoked.  Around 11PM, the rest of the family arrived:  KC and Liz (Kim's oldest), Kim and her two youngest, Connor and Nick, Carrie and her kids, Brody and Brook, and Aunt Margie.  Grandpa Ron was already here, and we had a rip roaring ringing in of the new year!  We had a blast visiting and being silly before heading to bed.  All of the kids, except for Heather, slept on the living room floor.  We were tight on space, but huge on love.  What a great way to ring in the new year!!!
