Happy New Year's!!

Well, here are the pictures from New Years. (you'll have to wait for pictures from Christmas since they are on my parent's camera.) We decided not to do the traditional New Year's Eve activities of hanging out and playing games all night while eating delicious appetizer and snacky foods all night. So we did something different and went out to eat. We dined at the Green Gateau, where I swear they served raspberry topping instead of raspberry vinaigrette on my salad. Otherwise, the food was enjoyable.

Victory and I then headed to the blockbuster downtown to see if we could find a Doris Day movie to watch. And just so you know, the only blockbuster in town that is supposed to have old movies, doesn't even have one Doris Day movie. We ended up watching a Kerry Grant movie, "War Bride". Funny.

We still had an hour or so to kill so we played Guestures. All I can say is, "Wow!" The two times my family has played that game in the last year, my dad has been the star of the show. It's quite hilarious to watch him frantically act out the words. The last time we played, one of the words was fire hydrant. What did my dad do? He lifted up his leg like a dog. Hilarious. This year, it was hurdles. That was so funny that Stephanie went into a laughing fit-to the point we were afraid she would go into pre-term labor.

And for the crowning event of the evening, my dad and Jeff did a balloon drop. They used the holes in the walls from our wedding to string a huge bag of balloons. It was an awesome New Year’s Eve.
