New Year's Eve!

Seeing as how I am pregnant and have great difficulty staying awake past 10pm, we decided to stay in this New Year's Eve and have a fun night with our kids.

We ate spaghetti, played Candy Land and Shoots and Ladders and made a giant pile of pillows on the living room floor for movie watching. We also had a 7 up toast when we brought in the New Year at midnight... errr, 9pm.

Brodey said several times, "this is the best night ever!" and even the next morning before Jeff and I got up I could hear him and Brock sitting on the couch whispering about how much fun they had playing games and watching movies in a pile with us. So cute. So glad we stayed in.

Happy Happy New Year!!

We had some friends over last night to bring in the New Year.... 9 adults... 8 kids! New Years parties have really changed!

Here's Brock lovin on Maddy Grace. He gave her her first ever taste of juice... she's a champ at drinking out of a straw! (Sorry about that Kristin!)

FIVE babies under 6 months old. Lined up by birthday:

Lyla: September 5, Charlie: September 2, AJ: August 22, Luke: July 23, Maddy: July 12
And the daddy's with the babies. (Minus Charlie and his daddy who was at the Chik-fil-a bowl)

Charlie was the first baby to check out for the night. :)

The big boys had so much fun playing together in the basement. They played trains, and watched movies, and played trains some more. Our boys were so excited to have someone for them to play with. They had a hard time remembering Kirkland's name and even this morning were asking me where "that boy we played with" went.

Getting ready for "bed" (yeah right). Somehow Brodey ended up in Brock's PJ's and Brock in Brodey's.

Anytime Brock feels like bedtime is coming he'll run and find Mr. Clint to snuggle with him. He just makes himself at home with the Owens family!

And a little clip of the boys...
