Ringing in the New Year

It has become a tradition for us to have fondue on New Year's Eve. As 2009 came to a close, we began debating whether we would do fondue, and, more importantly, should we invite someone to join us. At the last minute we decided yes, and yes. And if you know my motto, we only needed a minute anyway, so it was fine to plan a party the day of. We had a cheese fondue and 2 chocolate fondues. The kids only ate the chocolate fondue...


After the fondue, our friends brought over the PS2 Rock Band, and we all had fun trading off instruments and singing duties...
Mary's working really hard on the guitar

Cory beating on the drums

Ted strumming away. His favorite song was When I'm Gone by 3 Doors Down

And Riley and I had fun singing to the Taylor Swift songs

Afterwards, we played a little Disney Scene It and Charades before our friends left around 11. Then, my kids were determined to stay up until midnight. They wanted to see a stunt performer like last year. ESPN did not disappoint. Luckily, they let us sleep in Friday morning...
