First up ... our friends,
Josh and Mikele, hosted a fabulous party to ring in the New Year ... not a detail was missed!!
This party had it all ... sparkle hats ...
A little bubbly ...
A fireman, standing by, just in case things got a bit out of hand ...
Candy necklaces, teeter totters and a moving Wiggles car ...
An obviously starved child who clawed at my neck to get this YUMMY out of my hands ...
and a father/son eating contest ...
Miles totally won!
And as the evening progressed, Adam didn't find quite enough to eat with the sandwiches, nugget platter, salads, chips, dips and extra cheese :) ... so he decided to munch on a little Kate ... really, who could resist her?
And on a side note ... I once had a dream to own a nice camera and become a decent photographer. I once had a dream to tell my children's children that I TOOK THAT PICTURE ... but alas, my dream has been crushed. Ben, who has plenty of dreams of his own ... snagged mine too. It's a good things he's good at my dream ... because otherwise I'd be REALLY annoyed!!
Ben capturing the perfect smile ...
The perfect karate move ...
The perfect sweet cuddle ...
The hilarious race, by two speedy crawlers ... or make that one crawler and one child that should be walking but it's cool ... move at your own pace, Eli. I have a feeling you are a kiddo that will move to your own beat for many years to come!
And one really excited party planner ... who was also ahead in Dutch Blitz at the time this picture was snapped. If we didn't have somewhere else to be ... I'm sure I would have crushed the competition! Oh ... and I'm ordering a set of cards tonight. I'm practicing my one-handed moves from now until next year!!!
