New Year's Celebration

It's become a tradition.

A New Year's Eve Celebration at our house with food, games and lots of laughter. We start with close friends and members of our small group and then branch out from there. Some make it a few hours, others just past midnight, and then there are those that keep us up till 2:30 a.m.

When we counted up heads the next morning, we discovered that we had a total of 67 people here!

Getting ready for the party


This year we utilized our garage space. We had tables, food, games and HEAT!



As always, a lively game of Hearts brings smiles and moans.


It's 5 till midnight and some are sleeping (Mike and Katelyn).....



.....while others are reading Systematic Theology???!! (Gary)


Yep - the Arrowoods, always the last to leave!

Even Timothy made it to midnight (and then some). The excitement and the sugary sparkling cider kept him going until he literally fell asleep on my lap at about 1:00 or 1:30 a.m. His last words, "I'm not tired yet."
