New Year's in Kentucky

On New Year's Eve, we got up early and drove down to Kentucky to spend New Year's with Dennis, Jeanne and all the kids. We wanted to leave our house by 7, but we pulled out at 7:25. We made two stops including breakfast and one roadside potty stop for Lily. The kids did great. We moved Lacy up to the big girl car seat because she was really outgrowing the infant seat:( No more infants for us. We got down there about 1:00.

Playing Mad Gab with the older kids and Emily's boyfriend, Jimmy. He's a super nice guy. It was a fun game too.

Lily and Michael playing house in their finished basement.

Getting ready to eat a very yummy dinner - baked pasta, bread, salad! And we took down Hartville Kitchen pumpkin pie for dessert!

Adam's girlfriend was with us too and so we had 17 in all at dinner.

Playing birdies on Anson's ipad.

Joseph!

Anson and Lydia playing electronic Scrabble

Emily making us french toast bake for breakfast. You make it the night before and it sits all night.

Getting ready to ring in the new year. Their tradition is to run outside and bang on pots & pans, so Jeanne gave them some pots and lids to bang together.

Little Michael didn't make it to the New Year.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Lydia is covering her ears so it must've been loud.

Jeanne helping Dillon bang his pot and lid together.

A bunch of kids came running down with pots and pans, making a lot of noise :)

The next morning...Sarah watching all the little ones.

Cuties!

Jeanne took the kids outside to play baseball and climb on the big wood pieces.

Hanging out and watching football.

We left about 3:30 after we went to lunch together at Skyline. We stopped 2 times on the way home and made it home about 8:30. We really wish they lived closer to us. We had such a good time with them!
