We rang in the new year with our family again this year. Tim & Jen have a nice big house with plenty of floor space for everyone to crash out so we had a giant family slumber party/ game night with all kinds of snacks and libations. We had fried chicken, posole, jalapeno poppers, pesto breads, salami, cheese, crackers, fresh fruit with fruit dip, angel food cake with pineapple dream fluff, and chips & salsa. Scott's girlfriend, Janice, even brought a chocolate fountain and all kinds of dippers. That was a huge hit with the kids! Emma (and Scott) both fell asleep long before midnight, but everyone else held tough and played board games all night long. The little ones enjoyed the Wii and running around the house with Nerf guns while the adults played Guesstures, Dexter, Monopoly Deal, and Tumbling Dice. It was a fun evening had by all and the best part was that no one had to be out driving on the road that night. We all slept in the next day (till 7 or 8) and then got up to some leisurely coffee and breakfast. Some of us got up on our own and some of us, like Grandma, had some "help" getting going. (*see the picture above!). But the coffee helped out and then we were ready to face the day!
