New Years 2011

Although Eddie and I tried our hardest to find a sitter for New Year's Eve, we probably enjoyed our evening much more with our "Plan B."

Plan B:

We invited our friends, the Wyatts, over for a low-key evening at our house.

I CANNOT choose 1 outtake on these so I HAVE to include all 3!

I tried to get Brooklyn to hold Chandler, but of course, she'd have no part of that!

She DOES love her little sister...but on her own terms...

We practiced the countdown several times with the girls, then we gave them their horns and had the "real" mock count-down before we put them to bed.

OK.  Apparently we should have given them the horns after we counted down because they were all so mesmirized by them that they wouldn't participate in the countdown.  AND THEN for the grand finale, they didn't even have the lungs to make the horns blow.  =(

After the kids went down, the adults enjoyed steak, twice-baked potatoes, green bean bundles, rolls and salad!

On China in the formal dining room!  Almost as good as a fancy restaraunt, right?

And then followed that up with a friendly game of Scattegories!

And I won't say who won, but only that they aren't photographed in the picture above.  =)

 After we finished our super-late dinner and game, there was only about 15 more minutes until the New Year so we all made it despite having 4 very little ones!!  Pretty perfect Plan B!

New Year's Day

The girl's played inside.

And outside.  (Here's a look at B's new playset!!)

The guys watched football.

And Brooklyn made it her New Year's Resolution to be "Paci-free" in 2011.

(More on that later...)

And she decided that after 4 1/2 months, it was finally time to hold Baby Chandler.  To my knowledge, this is the first time that she has EVER held her!!  And even seems happy about it!

Although, I can't say the same for Baby Chandler!  =)

Cheers to a Happy 2011 and for all that God has in store!!
