Happy New Year

New Year's Eve
We had such a fun New Year's Eve. We started off the evening at the local fireworks stand. Sara Kennedy had fun picking out sparklers (which she calls SPRINKLERS). Cooper had fun too. Then, we headed to our neighbors, Terry, Jean Elaine's and Zan's. Rob, Noel, Mary Brieten, Stacey and Brian came too. This is where the fun started. Terry is an excellent cook on the grill- which makes the events of the night so funny. I don't know what or how it happened but first the sausage was burned to a crisp. After we got over laughing about that, Rob warned us that the Chickens were on their way inside. They too were burned beyond belief. Not just a little crunchy- burned! Rob actually got a picture of the chickens on fire! I was a little late for that. After the guys worked on the chickens we were able to eat the meat and it was really good. We had a great dinner and went outside to watch the guys with the fireworks. After the kids did a few sparklers (under close supervision I might add :) they were off to the swingset. The big kids (Will, Rob, Terry, and Brian) finished off most of them. They had a blast. Some of the best quotes of the evening from them were "Fire in the Hole!", "Not my Christmas shirt, man", and "Uhoh, grass fire!" After the firework excitement we got to see a big show from the people across the lake. They obviously spent alot more than $36 on their show :) We had a New Year's countdown at 9:40 and SK was tuckered out. She was asleep by the time we got home. What a fun way to ring in the New Year!
