New Year's Eve

 The Keppys' came down for the weekend - yup, they just can't get enough of us - HA!  They actually pulled in Friday night around 5:00 - I had dinner all ready and was excited that Evan was going to spend the night too!  Unfortunately, he gets the floor but we have a decent mattress that he sleeps on!

Gary and Glenn headed out to ice fish the next morning!  Not as early as Jessi and I were expecting but that's OK - we just always enjoy our "alone" time!  We headed over to the Wild Horse for coffee - love those peppermint sprinkles on the coffee!

Right before we were ready to leave the Wild Horse, Ashley called and needed help with her little one again, Jay.  Her mom was not doing well in the hospital and she was flying out the next day so wanted to spend some time with her!  By the time we got back to the house, her and her boyfriend were waiting to hand Jay to us!  I KNEW the girls would be excited to have a baby in the house and I wasn't wrong - they had an absolute ball with him!

Kenzie couldn't stop holding him and even put him to sleep!

In the meantime, Jessi went into town to pick up Aleah (their family came down for a New Year's Eve party at friends that now live in W. Pk) so we had ANOTHER babysitter!  I didn't have to worry about keeping Jay entertained while I fixed dinner!

Ashley picked up the baby late afternoon - we ate soup and rolls for dinner and then got the kitchen cleaned up and tables and chairs set up for our Bunco party!  Oh, and the guys got home from fishing - a good time!

Jaime came straight from work (so I saved her some soup), and the rest of her crew arrived too!  We all drew numbers for what table we would start at AND who our first partner would be!  With 6 adults and 6 kids, it worked out perfectly!  Of course, the goal was to get to the HEAD table and STAY there!

It was loud and FUN!  After the first round, the food came out and we stopped for a break and then it was on to the second round and finally the third round!  We tallied up the scores and gave out prizes to the top 6 winners and then participation prizes to the rest!

 

Here's the gals!

And here's the guys!

We really enjoyed the evening together and hope to do it again!!  Evan went home with Kylan for the night - Aleah and Kenzie got in the hot tub for a LONG time and of course ended up staying up pretty darn late!!  Did the grown ups make it?  Absolutely not!!  We DID go out at 9:00 and see a couple of fireworks that they set off early but sure didn't make it till the midnight ones!

The guys went fishing again!  Gwyn enjoyed her hot cocoa with the chocolate spoons I had bought - Jill came out to pick up Aleah and stayed about an hour so that was fun to catch up with her! And then we just relaxed and had a great ham dinner ready when the guys got home from fishing!

The Keppys left after dinner!  A really fun weekend with family and A Happy New Year to all!
