New Year's Eve

 The kids celebrated New Year's Eve at school with a parade!! I can only imagine how loud that was.

You can see Charlotte in the front in purple and Tommy is in the back by the super tall kid with his hood pulled up.  :-)

Tommy's class celebrated with 2017 shades!

Thanks to Gaga and Pop for babysitting so that Mama and Dada could celebrate New Year's Eve with a noisemaker parade too!! We had shades at one point but they didn't fit very well.

I also cannot imagine how loud we also were. ;-)

Happy New Years Everyone! It's 2017!

New Year's Eve 2015

 The Neals got a babysitter and so did we so it was time to party.  We weren't sure what to do but I heard about a new bar on campus that was supposed to be a little nicer so we decided to try it out. 
 It was great... at first.  We had strong drinks and ordered dinner.  It was just fun to be together since our lives have us so busy that it's hard to get together for good conversation.  Well the conversation was so good that we realized too late that it was taking forever for our food to come.  When the food finally did come, it was cold! The server seemed totally frazzled.  Travis said, "Are you freaking out right now?"  She said, "You got me. I'm totally freaking out."  We were like, uh yikes.  That's not good.  Then a LOT of time went by.  We were done with our cold food. Our drinks were gone.  Our server was nowhere to be found.  We waved down another server and asked her, jokingly, if our server had left.  She said, "Um, actually yes.  She got in a fight with the bartender and walked out." Well, that explains a few things.  She took over for us and got our drinks and found out what we ordered.  It was a mess there that night.  We had fun because we always have fun.  But wow, what a disaster!

But we weren't going to let it spoil our NYE Party!! Those "glasses" are supposed to say 2016 but they kind of look like they say 2006.  Which is appropriate because that's the year we both got married! Happy New/Old Year!

 Group picture of us still waiting on our food!

 Did I mention they had karaoke and girls in total sequined dresses? The sequin dress girls sang a lot of Shania Twain and Dixie Chicks.  Andrew and Travis sang a lot of 80s/90s like Safety Dance, Bad Medicine, and Sledgehammer.  They were big hits!  Once Andrew sang Sledgehammer, everyone was on the floor.  Probably because the median age was 40ish. The youngins' didn't stance a chance. 

 Katie and I took a picture of us dancing on the highest surface for the Vegas crew.  They were totes jelly!
Even though the bar totally failed us, we still had an awesome time on New Years Eve!! Happy 2016!
