I'm finally getting around to posting about our New Year's celebration. And was it a celebration! With Mom and Dad here we have a good
ol' time down here in the south.
Dallin and Ashton got all dressed up--
Dallin went to a
tri-stake celebration. It was a black and white dance that didn't end up being very fun. They left early and went to a friends house. Ashton went to a friend's house from high school for a party. With both of them gone we were small in numbers, it always feels weird when we're not all together.
Landon and
Easton had a grand time playing the flour/quarter game. We filled a cup with flour and turned it upside down in a
pie tin. We carefully placed a quarter on top. The boys took turn using a butter knife to slice chunks of flour. The object was to NOT be the one to knock the quarter off the top. It was a fun game that kept them busy for quite a while.
After the flour game everyone gathered around the table for a game of "
WhooNu" and some glasses of sparkling cider/juice. There were some new flavors this year. We loved the sparkling pear juice and didn't really love the sparkling cherry juice.
At about ten to 12 we gathered around the
TV to watch the ball drop. We had our horns ready to blow. I have to say it was quite obnoxious at our house. It's amazing what happens when you give boys permission to be noisy and crazy.
Grandpa was the worst!
We went outside in the frigid cold for a while and lit some leftover fireworks we had hanging around from the Fourth of July. I think
Easton and Landon had a great party as it doesn't take much for them to have fun. We loved having my Mom and Dad here for one more special occasion. Happy New Year everyone!

That is a fun night at the Carroll's. Dallin and Ashton look way spiffy in their fancy duds. Love the black shirt and pants... and Ashton, it's fun to dress up for little parties I think...yipee. What is Easton wearing on his feet? Those things are huge.
ReplyDeleteA fun little memory of the time we spent in Georgia. It was fun to celebrate with niose, food, games, etec. If we had been home---BORING!!
ReplyDeleteI forgot about the flour game. We played it when you came to Utah the one year for Christmas. The kids loved that game. I will have to remember it for next year. The older kids looked great for their big parties. I am not ready for my kids wanting to be anywhere but with me. I know at some point I have to let them grow up, sniff sniff.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun way to bring in the new year. Ashton and Dallin looked great!
