Every year we have a New Years party and my cousin Ryan and his wife Meg come up and we hang out. This year we were able to get my sister over here and she brought Colton and Rose with her. My brother and sisters have a different dad than I do and 2 days ago thier dad passed away from cancer. Dee wasn't thinking she would be good company, but we persuaded her to come over anyway and forget for a little while.
We had a BLAST! We played Texas hold em and Logan kicked our butts. This kid is taking us to Vegas in a few years. I swear we didn't let him win. I was his first victim and I wasn't getting any good cards. He was getting all the hands. Way to go Logan!
Then we played Rock Band until about 2:30 am. Ryan is king of the micraphone, but struggled to read the words on the screen after having a few drinks. His wife Meg is pregnant this year with thier first baby, so we made sure to have "mocktails" here for her and the kids. The kids enjoyed strawberry daquiries and shirly temples, and toasting with sparkling cider. The rest of us enjoyed our shots and cocktails provided by our in house bar tender (Eric) The party wound down around 2:30 am and in the morning poor Ryan was tossing his cookies. Poor guy. lol Him and Hayden had a disagreement last night when Ryan head butted Haydens bouncy horse and Hayden jumped off the couch and tackled Ryan and licked his face. It was soooo funny because Ryan didn't see any of it coming. His face afterward was priceless. Thank goodness I had my camera. The night was full of group singing and duets. Drums, guitars and jokes. I can't wait till next year. Hopefully next year we will be in a much bigger house and a bigger house means a bigger party with more friends and family. 2009 was pretty good to us, but I hope 2010 will be even better. I hope the economy recovers, more jobs are available, and that everyone will be happy and healthy. Here's to a healthy and prosperous 2010! CHEERS!
