For New Years Eve we had the youth over, and the Jensen's also stayed to hang out with us. We played a card game called, "Would you Rather?" Where it gives you two examples like, would you rather eat worms OR eat a spider? And I choose to "eat a spider" anyone who knows me would have guessed that I would pick "spider". If you choose correctly, they keep a card..first person with 6 cards wins. It was a pretty fund game. Some of the youth played Rock Band upstairs in the game room, and others played Xbox games on a projector in Ashlie's room. Cory and Lindsie were still home and they hung out with everyone, and I think they had a good time. Austin was in hog heaven with everyone here and he just followed Cory and Lindsie around. A few of the youth also played some 'real estate' game in the kitchen. I watched Harry Potter 6 in the living room, and a few kids would come in and out and watch a bit of it and so would Austin. We had fruit trays, veggie trays, chips & dip, and pop. Then Linds and Dad made egg and bacon tortillas at midnight after we toasted in the New Year with some Martinelle's...Happy New Year!
The next day we drove to Katy (30 min up I-10) and went to see Brett & Fatima Donaldson. They had sent us a Christmas card and with it an invitation for a New Year Day Party. We got to their house just a little after 11am, we didn't see any cars parked out front and we were hoping we had the right address. We knocked, and Brett answered, half asleep. Apparently they had cancelled the party, but only had our old email and we never got the message. So everyone jumped out of bed and they asked us to stay a bit since we drove all the way over to Katy. Fatima insisted on making some breakfast and we ate pancakes & bacon and talked for a bit, we ended up staying until 1230. It was so good to see them, but we felt bad that we had gotten them out of bed just to visit with us.
After that we went home and made some Potato/clam chowder and took it over to the Jensen's for 'soup day'. They made gumbo and chicken tortilla soup. Later, the Corringtons' came over with some cheddar soup. We stayed quite awhile, and Dad wanted to play that 'real-estate' game again. So I took Cory and Lindsie home to get their laundry done and pack and went back to get Chuck and Austin. It was fun to bring in the New Year with good food and great friends!
