Party like it's 2010!

On New Year's Eve, the Kelkers & Straws along with Ian's parents (who are in town from Minnesota) and Ian's niece, Sunny, who was also visiting came over to celebrate-family style! Some of us hung in our jammies (I can always count on the Kelkers to participate!! But in fairness to the Straws, they were going to an "adult only" party after our house where no jammies were being worn) Connor refused to wear pajamas because he wanted to wear his new IU sweatshirt and Taylor had his on, then saw someone downstairs w/ out their's, got embarassed and changed. Sara got pooped on by a goose on her way in and her hair was doused in goose poop (too funny not to share). And as a grand finale, we had a "fake" countdown to the New Year at 9:00pm (yes, you read that right, 9:00, see above: family style). Party ended by 9:15pm :) It was great to bring in the New Year (well, to bring in 9:00pm the night before the New Year anyway :)) with great friends. Todd and I put the kids to bed and played a little competitive Guitar Hero and I actually made it to midnight!!

Taylor felt the Guitar Hero sticker looked better on his forehead.

Thank you Ian for wrestling with Taylor-he has to get all that energy out somehow!
Kyla & Connor bouncing in the bounce house!

Craig provided entertainment for the kids by participating in bouncy games.

The kiddos and their sparkling grape juice for the NYE countdown cheers! (Will, Taylor, Connor, Kyla, James)
