New Year's Eve

It's a known fact that Doug and I aren't big New Year's people. We prefer to stay home, get the kids to bed at a decent time, ring in the New York new year at 9, then go to bed. Boring, yes, but it's just what we do. :)

This year our dear friends the Bingold's had a New Year's Eve shindig and we decided to go. We had the BEST time with lots of friends. The kids got to stay up til midnight.. a first for them!

Just some of the kids playing games in the basement. Joe and Elizabeth just moved into their beautiful new home and the basement (and the whole house!) is awesome!

The Bingold's are known for their whoppin' huge Christmas Trees. This year did not disappoint! :) 

These girls have all grown up together and they truly enjoy being together. 

Joe... my brotha from another motha! 

Baby loves!! So glad Preston joined the festivities!

Love these ladies!!

I love how Pascal looks after the littler boys... Matthew thinks he's a pretty cool big kid!

We headed home before midnight... mostly because I just wanted to be home before any crazies got on the road. The kids got to go outside and shoot off a few fireworks at midnight, which made them very happy!!

You can't tell.. but they are in their jammies...haha!!

Thankful for a fun night with dear friends. Who knows... we may go out again next New Year's Eve!!

Happy New Year!
