New Year's Eve

For New Year's Eve we invited the Kosters over to hang out with us. The Cheneys also came over later around 10:00.  We ate tons of food, shot off fireworks, played games, then watched tv to see the ball drop at midnight while drinking sparkling cider. 

Here are some pictures of us outside watching the fireworks.  It seemed like the whole neighborhood was out as well.  We could hear fireworks going off till 1 or 2 am.  I guess everyone was making up for lack of fireworks on Independence Day.  We stayed up until about 1:30, but luckily our church time switched this year to 1:00 so we got to sleep in (at least until Katie woke up at 7:30).  :)

This was Katie's first time to see fireworks since they were cancelled on the 4th of July.  She didn't show much emotion, except she got pretty excited when she saw the colorful fountains.
Kaden had fun with the sparklers for a while, but he would throw them on the ground before they were done burning.  No one got hurt even though I think we were all outside with bare feet.
Katie, Jacob, Rachel
Teagan and Todd
Happy New Year! 
2011 was a great year for us, and I'm excited to see what 2012 will bring!
