New Year's Eve

We went over to Amy's house for New Year's Eve this year. Everyone brought snacks to share. I swear we had so much food it was ridiculous. You couldn't even tell we touched it. Oh well, it was all yummy! Everything was very low key. We just hung out and enjoyed each others company. Our little get together was only 2 hours long (7-9pm). Yes you read that correctly, we didn't even stay til midnight. Blame it on the kids. We all have them, so we wanted to get them into bed at a decent hour. Before we left, we all set off wish lanterns. Have any of you seen Tangled? Yes, I'm so cheesy that I stole the idea from a Disney movie :) I had great visions of everyone letting theirs go at the same time and getting really cool pictures of it, but in reality, my camera was not cooperating and everyone was doing their own thing. Andrew's flew right into a tree, but somehow managed to escape unharmed without lighting anything on fire. We were all worried for a minute there. Mike's got a hole in it somehow. And ours wouldn't launch for the longest time. Eventually we got it up there. They still looked really pretty and were fun to try out.

That was really fun! I was of course freaking out thinking we were going to catch something on fire, but that's just me. :) Michael was really upset ours got a hole.
