New Years Eve

Our New Years Eve party went from a quiet evening to an exploding joyful party! Andy, Kristi, and their kids joined us along with my Mom and Brayden, and then a surprise! My Mom's newphew, Eugene Jr., found her a few days ago. Mom hasn't seen or heard from him or his sister Robyn for many years. Thankfully, mom's phone number has been the same for several years because that's how Robyn and Eugene found her. Well, he is a truck driver and just happened to be passing through on New Years Eve, so he decided to stop in and meet us all.


So we are eating and chatting along, when we got another surprise! My Uncle Dennis had just got into town as well from his long haul. He is a truck driver too. So he stopped by to see everyone and visit as well.


We had a great visit. It was nice to meet one of my cousins that I had never met before. He lives in Ohio with his wife and 5 boys. He invited us out there sometime.. I would love to take him up on that offer. I rarely get to travel and it would be great to meet some more family while sight seeing.
After he had to go and get back on the road, we settled in for some movies. With homemade carmel corn and chips and dip, we were set.



Pics of all the kids sacked out watching great flicks! Breanna, Danielle, Eric, Philip, and Charlize. Makayla, Carson and Brayden. It was a great party and we only had 2 kids fall asleep before we watched the ball drop to ring in the new year!
