New Year's Eve

Almost 3 months ago Nathan and I flew to DC to see our sweet friends the Perry's. It's a DARN good thing we went to visit them when we did. Tom was offered a fantastic job back in Boise and so during Christmas Break they DROVE back to Idaho to stay!! On the way they stopped to stay with US! YIPPEE!!! If we hadn't gone when we did we never would have made the trip! So happy we decided to go and make those amazing memories. ☺

We had so much fun for the couple of days they were here. We took the kids to Leo's place to play and run wild and then we came home and threw a pretty fantastic last minute New Year's Party because ME (with my pregnancy BRAIN) didn't realize Saturday was New Year's Eve. I thought it was on Sunday. I'm an idiot.

We made TONS of food. Played lots of fun games (the candy bar game, Wits and Wagers, Game of Things) AND we made GOO with the kids.

Candy bar game is ALWAYS a hit:

Lots of yummy food: Bacon wrapped shrimp, crescent covered smokies, cheese ball, veggies, cookies, cowboy salsa............ugh. I was so FULL I could hardly drink my sparkling cider at the end of the night!

We did a little pretend countdown for the kids at about 9:00. They had been awake since 5 am and we (the adults) were READY for them to go to SLEEP! After we got them to bed we cranked on the Pandora and played games and danced. It was hilarious.

Next morning they left. It's so funny how NOW it feels like we're pretty much just neighbors again becuase we'll get to see them SO much more. 4 hours is NOTHING compared to and entire DAYS trip on an airplane! Welcome back to the POTATO STATE Perry's!!
