2012 NYE

We decided to take it easy this year for New Years for many reasons….1. Ashley and Andrew were leaving the following day so we wanted to make it easy on them. 2. Alex was going to have friends over so the whole fam would be together and 3. I heard there would be a fire.

So on NYE we headed to Hammond. I served snacks as we set the backdrop up and got ready to make smores. Samir arrived with a HUGE bottle of beer. He had ordered it from work and was planning to share with everyone.

Once Chad and A got there, we all headed out. Alex started the fire and it was fabulous.

There were some kids (Mom, Dad, and the A’s) that went inside to watch a game I will not ever mention again.  

Before midnight we had a little fun with the backdrop:

We went back outside for midnight…and had champagne!

 

Once midnight hit, we all gave hugs and kisses. There were fireworks going on around us for at least 10 minutes.

I was very excited to celebrate the new year with my whole family. This is the first time we have all been together for years. The smores were great, fire was smoky and the company was the best.

Happy New Year Y’all!! I hope your year started as bright as mine.

Love and Hugs, Lizzie

P.S there are more pictures on Mom’s camera that are pretty funny….I will share when I get them.
