Normally on New Year's we get together with friends and family and play games. I couldn't not play games this year so we hosted a New Year's Eve party. It was great fun. I thought the kids would fall asleep to a movie...I was wrong. They rung in the New Year right there with us. Kaytlin made no less than 20 trips to the candy bowl and usually had 2 or 3 pieces of various candies in each hand. I'm pretty sure she sampled them all. Talk about sugar high. We played Scum and Settler's of Catan. I teamed up with my friend Nicki to help teach her (a victory on our end by the way...2 hours later.) We all ate a lot of carmel popcorn and treats and drank sparkling cider until we were silly. This picture of Kaytlin is the next morning with a new year's hat on and some chocolate on her face; I guess that's her version of a hangover. We all got a kick out of her and I payed dearly for her late night and sugar binge for a few days after. She's back on track again. I can't believe it's 2009. Happy New Year to all!

Looks like you guys had a blast. I wish we could've been there. So, does that mean that you and your friend beat Bill?
Yes, we did. Gratification. I was due for a win. I'm totally dominating him by my count:) We'll have to play some serious games when we visit you guys in a month.
So good to find you. Your family is darling. Enjoy Montana. It's beautiful! I'm adding you to my list so I can stay updated!

hey alicia did you know that Layla crosby is related to us? Her grandfather is moms 2nd cousin. I just happen to see her blog. I didn't know you knew her. Her family lives in pima and her dad is the principle at the jr. high here. Oh well small world.
Alica,
I loved catching up on your family through your blog. You are so good to document everything! I had to laugh at your picture of Kaytlin after New Year's Eve--that's about how I looked and felt the next morning too. I can't stay up that late anymore. I am glad to see that all is going well for you guys. Cute family!
