hello 2013, nice to see ya

how great is new year's eve?

a late night for small children
 with explosives and bubbly

and cousins lovingly participating in video games at 1:30 am
doesn't get much better.
 and notice the ripped up plastic bags all over the floor?
yet another one of Kate & Caleb's fun traditions.  They wrapped up and taped up candy bars in plastic bags and put them all in a huge garbage bag with tons of empty bags.  And you sit in a circle and roll the dice until someone gets doubles.  Whoever gets doubles then throws on a pair of winter gloves and starts digging through the huge bag in their hunt for a candy bar.  If you can get it untaped and out for the bag before someone else gets doubles, you can keep it.  It's a fun, fast paced, grabby, and screamy game.  Those are the best kind.

It was fun night.  And we're glad our kids are not broken from this night of sugar, stimulation and no sleep.  Perfect way to welcome in the new year.

You guys have so many fun games! I always loved the candybar game and I've never played it with my kids. Sounds fun!

boy, that really looks like beer we're toasting there. :) and we are the awesomest parents ever to let our kids stay up so late and have so much fun. :) thanks for partying with us!

Every story has a beginning...

Joey and Katie first met in Mr. Hawkes 3rd grade class at Valley Elementary. They became good friends in Jr. High and best friends in High School. Katie wrote to Joey on his mission in Tiajuana and Joey wrote to Katie later on her mission in Tokyo. Years later at the ripe old age of 25, these best friends finally fell in love... or maybe just realized they were already in love. They got married on January 22, 2004.

happy kids
