Happy New Year!

Don't everybody eat, drink, and be merry too much! Or you'll all be sick like half of us were last night! Brent, the kids, and I played games with Joan, Bill, and Leslie and had too much of a munchie spread and now we're really 'ringing' in the new year! But we had fun doing it! Bill was in last place the whole game but sure caught up quickly towards the end and added a good part of the laughs for the most part! Keep up the good work Bill! The kids played video games all night and just had a blast. As a matter of fact, there were quite a few tears and tantrums when we had to leave! (whats new!) But as we walked up to the house Kasey had a rockin party were somehow she got a dozen of her friends to all fit in the hot tub. It was 'audibly' clear they were all having a ton of fun. And Austin was out with friends for the night but got up early enought to go rabbit hunting this morning, although he had a few Advil accompany him on his way out the door. Brent and I watched Dick Clark and Ryan Seacrest count down the new year, and for the first time ever, I kissed the love of my life and wished him a Happy New Year! (Everyone join in: Ahhhhh!) (Audience participation now done.) In conclusion: It was a great year in 2008, and for 2009: we wish everyone a prosperous and Happy New Year!
