Ringing In the New Year

We spent New Year's Eve this year with Cameron's brother, Don, and his family.  That has kind of been our tradition since we moved up here, and we always love it.  We had only gotten back from our trip a couple days before, so it was a good chance for us to spend time catching up with them!

We spent the evening playing Guitar Hero, Blokus, eating pizza, and chocolate fondue.  We let Miley stay up till about 8:30, and then put her to bed, but planned to wake her up later in the night for the big countdown.

PS...all these pictures were taken with my new lens that I got for Christmas...I am in L-O-V-E!   *SQUEAL!*







I have to admit, being 7 1/2 months pregnant makes staying up and partying pretty tough on me.  I was exhausted and struggled to keep my eyes open once we hit about 11:00...I promise I was having fun though!  :)



We got Miley up at about 11:50, and she was none too pleased.  I thought she would be really excited to get to hang out with all the older kids, and wear party hats and play with noisemakers, but she just wanted to be held...oh well.  Lesson learned.  Maybe next year we can try again!










2011 is definitely going to be a big year for us...baby boy coming, possible grad school for Cameron, and potentially buying our first home.  I am sure it will be one to remember, and I can't wait to see what is in store for us! 


Wishing you all the best in 2011!

These pictures turned out great! Our new lenses are AWESOME! Looks like a fun night... wish we had something like that to go to every year! You are right, Miley does not look thrilled to have been woken up. And I am not pregnant, but staying up until midnight on New Years Eve was a major challenge fore me, too. We are getting so OLD!
