In a major blog fail, I forgot to actually recap NYE. To be perfectly honest, I forgot that I had taken any pictures of it. Well, here are the birthday kids (my siblings) blowing out the candles. I mean, they were the real reason for this shindig, not that whole end of a decade thing...
Here's Lu and her Mini-Me. They are so much alike it's actually kind of scary. (Notice the matching, without completely matching outfits.)
After the birthday goodness, it was time for a little gymnastics show...
Showing us how it's done...
Not about to let her big brother show her up...
But some people have even cooler "circus tricks" to share.
I know you are jealous of how much fun we had! I actually did have a great night, especially when I sat and talked with my parents and aunt and uncle right up until midnight. We didn't manage to solve all the world's problems, but I think we made some serious progress! It was a nice, low-key way to ring in 2011!
Well it looks like fun.... Sometimes new year is over rated anyway. Happy 2011!
ReplyDeleteI think the whole NYE party thing is kind of overrated. I was perfectly happy with the way things happened! Happy 2011 to you too!
ReplyDeleteThis does look like fun. What fun is NYE without a little gymnastics!?
ReplyDeleteI am not up to speed, who are the people here and how do they relate to you?
ReplyDeleteI'm going to confess that I went to bed before the New Year arrived. I made it 'til 10:30 and then succumbed. NExt Year I'll be well enough to make it all the way!
Katie, I am so glad you stopped by! (Love the new look of your blog, btw!) I probably had 15 or 20 pictures of the flips and handstands. They were having a great time showing off. (They are some really funny kids!)
ReplyDeleteMissy Jill, the kids belong to my first cousin. The little girl (Mini-Lu)and my sister, Lu, are so much alike you'd think they were mother and daughter (or at least sisters). It's hilarious.
ReplyDeleteThe boys are Mini-Lu's older brothers and are both a piece of work! I made it to midnight, but only because I was back to my summer sleep schedule for break!
Ooh, I wish I had a mini-me, now I'm envious!
ReplyDeleteMegan, I'm not sure the world is ready for another person as fabulously quirky as you! Originality is what makes you so awesome!
