Happy New Year!

We had a very nice New Year's Eve celebration with friends and family at Kathy and Scott Foltz' house. Kathy and Scott, their son Joey, their daughter Amanda and her significant other Chris with their little one Chloe and their little guy on the way were all there. Bowling friends, Rick & DJ, Mike & Suzanne, Jeff and Chris were there. Brent and I along with Sara, Maddison and Mackenzee (and baby grandson on the way) were all there and Laurel even made an appearance!


There was plenty of food and fun. We had ping-pong and cards going on out in the garage, pool in the game room and Guitar Hero in the livingroom. We all made it until midnight....kids and old people (me) alike!



Scott, at regular intervals, brought out his jello shots. I turned them all down except for this one below! eeeewwwww

Here's Joey playing Guitar Hero...

Maddison, Chloe and Mackenzee had a blast...

We were all out quite late, so no one even stirred until about 9:00 this morning (that would be me and Mackenzee....usually both always up before dawn). Brent came down and the three of us were enjoying some Spanish conversation with Mackenzee (she was teaching us!) when we heard screams coming from upstairs. Brent and I wondered what in the world was going on, but Mackenzee knew right away....she exclaimed "Maddi lost her tooth!!!". Maddison's top teeth have been quite loose for weeks. Just before Christmas we were all sure that one of them would just fall right out....but nooooooooooooo. Brent tried working on it, we tried getting Maddison to get it out (and I told her that night, if she pulled it out, I would give her all the change in my coin bank).
Well................she finally got it out this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Here is her tooth and the hole it left in her mouth! She has a pretty little tooth fairy pillow to put it in for tonight.


And on her lap on the left is my change bank!!!
