Happy New Year... Bring it on!

I am posted this mainly so my dad does not have to look at Haws' facial hair in the sink every time he brings up my blog :)
Bringing in 2008 was a little different for me than the years past. First of all... I wasn't in Hawaii with my family like have been for most New Years since 2000. And second.. I am a married woman now. That makes a big difference when bringing in the New Year. I am so happy to start this on off with Haws as my partner in crime. I am still working on my resolutions, but for me, resolutions are something I have to make all through out the year... it is hard to list them all at once. I know one for sure is to get to bed earlier. I hope this doesn't effect my ability to blog. I do my best work late at night.
Our first New Years Eve as a married couple was pretty mellow. My two siblings, our significant others (Chase was there in spirit) and some friends crashed my parents house while they were chaperoning the youth dance. We had quite the spread of appetizers and treats and had a good time socializing, hot tubbing and playing games. When even made it to midnight!!! I was afraid the group might not last when I saw Kori dozing off around 1030... but they came through! Here are just a few pics to capture some of the moments.
Dana and Jenny digging in
Emme and Kori. Emme was a party animal and she lasted until midnight as well!
Cinnamon, Haws and his mustache. It looks like he is eating the flowers...
Me... this is what happens when you mix hummus with sparkling cider.
The night was complete with a visit from Anne and Danielle. I am glad they got booted out of their previous party and decided to join ours.
And that's it. Nothing too exciting, but I have a good feeling about 2008 :)

How fun...your parents house seems to always be the "party house!" I had to laugh that you guys had a hard time making it to midnight...we "old timers" stayed up till 1:30 playing games! Happy New Year Cutie!

This is my FAVORITE thing to do on New Year's. Playing games, delicious food, and great company! Looks like you guys had a blast. I think you look so cute in the apple cider hummus picture. It was so great to see you!

Ok one of my new years resolutions is to go to bed early too.. but I'm indifferent about it since that is like my only blogging time. If you haven't noticed i just got Christmas up.. a little behind now.

We can do it!
