New YEars Eve 2010

We spent New Years Eve at Tysen and Chris'.
The guys cooked an amazing fish fry of all sorts!
Probably the best array of food I have ever seen at a New Years Eve bash! It was DELISH!

Lyla took a little cat nap so she could stay up late to party with us
Grandma did the fishing pond for the kids....they loved it!

The kids played the clothes pin drop game

This was BRee's reaction when she missed

Kyra and aunt Caitlyn
Bree trying her woody doll's hat on
We played the candy bar game
Bree LOVED getting the gloves on


THe kids enjoyed chasing bubbles!


Of course the blow horns are always a favorite....
except for Bree, she covered her ears....she hates loud noises



It took a few attempts to get Kris to cooperate for a picture!



When Kris was a kid they had a tradition of getting pantyhose full of goodies on New Years morning.....it is a last gift from the elves. The girls were thrilled that the elves visited aunt Tysen's house so they could enjoy this tradition too.

I love the way my sister in law Caitlyn captured some of the events so this excerpt is from her blog documenting the evenings events:

The greatest New Years Eve fish fry you ever did see. Fried halibut, fried shrimp, french fries, onion rings, steak, crab, lobster tail, shrimp cocktail, and deep fried oreos. And yes, I came home 5 lbs heavier.

Mad Gab extravaganza. Where "crime suspect" became "8 grams of fat" and "We the People" was confused for "We ate people", thanks to Corbin. Never play Mad Gab without him, or you will not truly experience the hilarity that is this game. Go Team Cobras!

Another Corbintastrophe...experimenting with Chris' new soda machine. Apparently you have to tip the bottle after squirting in the CO2 before you unscrew it from the machine. Did Corbin tell me this? Nooooooooooo. So what happened? Major lemon-lime soda explosion! And had Kris not insisted on no diet soda I wouldn't have spent the rest of the night all sticky. Thanks dude. It's very unfortunate this event wasn't photographed. Apparently Kyra was laughing so hard she couldn't even talk when she went upstairs to tell everyone.

All in all it was a great way to say goodbye to 2010 in style!
