January 1, 2008- New Years Day

After a long, but very fun, evening we headed over to Mark and Patty's for New Years Day. A relaxing day of games, food and socializing. Jessica and Chris come over with their kids and they entertain our kids so the adults can have a little bit of a break. Christian and Elsa come too and we all have a great time. Colby is getting so big and starting to really hang out with all the big kids now too. Here are some highlights of the day.Julian and Alex drawing- trying to keep themselves busy
Nicholas and Mommy posing for the camera
David and I playing games and enjoying the fact that our kids are getting big enough to entertain themselves.
Aunt Patty letting Emma hold Alexis.
Jessica and I enjoying the brief moments of having alone time with no kids.
Nicholas coloring like his Alex and loving every minute of it.
Taking a bit of time to play with Nicholas and Colby while getting ready to clean up and head out for the evening.
Dad and Mark finding any way to challenge each other and outbeat one another. This time it's a game of connect 4
fun times with Dad- Colby and Christian
Owen and Christian- Owen loved it so much he kept wanting more.
Emma and Natalee loved playing together all day long. Aunt Patty has so many dolls and clothes to dress up. We rarely saw them.
After a long day the kids got their jammies on and sat down to watch Shrek 3- it was so cute to see them all lined up on the bed, winding down.

So many great pictures, what a fun day we missed out on.. I know, its not like we were invited but I miss having the "game" part of the holidays since no one around here really plays. That just means we need to get together!
