Goodbye 2009, Welcome 2010

Many friends joined us for our annual New Year's Eve Party. I think 61 people were the most at one time!! This is a family-friendly event with snacks, games and fellowship.


Early in the evening, before the games began.



SEQUENCE was a hit!

And so was SCUM in the other room.

The men decided to find the most mellow room to have some coffee.

I really don't know what Jim and Phil were up to with this picture. Is he playing guitar or ripping his arm off of him?

And still others found room in the basement to chat and watch kids.

Watching the little ones joyously play the Wii was entertaining.

As the night wore on, Jim and Dean got cozy in the family room. Look close and you'll see that Jim is covered up with a Chicago Bears blanket, while wearing all Green Bay Packer clothing from head to toe. Love it!

The kids getting ready for the stroke of midnight. Yes - all 5 of mine stayed up the entire time!

Poor Jim couldn't get much sleep with Timothy's consistent presence.

This is a picture usually compliments of the Arrowoods, but they were out of town this year. So....Paul and Kim (our new associate pastor from Texas) got the prize for being the last ones at the party. I think Paul was trying to see if there was any Latte' Punch left so he could finish it!!!

Time: 1:15 a.m. Savannah figured as long as she had her pacifier and bunny blanket, any surface would do for a bed!
