New Year's Eve 2011

We got together with some friends to send out 2011 and ring in 2012 (well OK, the Yancy Clan did not quite make it to the official "ring in" time, but it was fun nonetheless!)  I love that we have friends who have young kids and we can have kid friendly adventures together.  We have been pretty close to most of these couples since before Nathaniel was born so it is fun to watch them all grow up together!

Even at a young age there is a pretty distinct gender separation.  Boys will be boys...and love the rough and tumble games.


 And girls will be girls, loving to chat and laugh...

Regardless of gender, they all love to eat.  Nate had too much of Jenn's delicious cake in the following picture:

Then the fun began.  The kids all got to play with sparklers.  This is the first year I have let Nate have his own...and he loved it!


The older boys/so called adults were off having Roman Candle Wars ...
...so Nate and Landon got in on their own version of the action (it is a lot less dangerous this way)


Keaton on the other hand did not love all the noise!
 By 8:00 pm Nate ended up burring a hole in one of his socks, getting his hair singed, and had a bloody nose....but that did not stop him from having a great time!  Poor thing.  We partied until we could handle no more.

Thanks Ruperts for a fun night and also to the Halls, McMurrays/Coopers, and Carpenters for some great laughs and delicious food.  Happy New Year, everyone!  We pray 2012 will hold amazing memories for all of you!
