New Year's Eve/Day

2010 is here already! New's Year Eve came and went - but with some memories attached. James and Brendan (guy from our church) and one of the elders led a small group from our church in songs, and a bit of special music as well as fellowshipping, food and a game. That was for most of the evening there at the chapel. Then we cleaned up and made it back to the Windmill 10 minutes before the clock turned in the new year. :) Hugs and kisses all around, and then rushed home to get to bed.
Katelyn bringing in the new year in the best way - sleeping. :)
Us, cranberry juice and ferrero rocher chocolates. :)
Doing some games at the Windmill for New Years Day. :) Nelly organized it all and did such a cracker jack job of it. There were four teams: (my team was Dad, Tim and I -the only team with three - but Kate joined us) James, Will, Andrew(friend) and Mom another team; Marlene, Rob, Diane and Henry, and then the last team was Mark, Marvin, Heather and Sarah -via webcam. (the sweetie gave her sleep from 3 in the morning her time till 5 or 6 to join us in the games)
The teams trying to figure it all out.... Nelly did a "search through the newspaper" game (fastest to find the answers to her questions won) a "french braiding contest (where the guy has to braid the girls hair with only instructions on how to do from the girl - no helping) a "tie tying conest" where the girl has to tie the tie on herself with only verbal instructions from the guys, and then find all the items in a most magnificant picture Nelly drew that started with a "C" or an "R"...our team almost won. :) But it was so fun and Nelly did such a great job. (and there was Bible questions too)
Our little team member - going through Opa's magazines.
Uncle Tim and the nephews. :)
Auntie Diane and little Benjamin - two cuties. :) That was the New Year day....
