New Years Eve

The beginning of our New Year's Eve was a pretty normal day.  After I dropped Allison off at piano lessons our friends from Hobbs the Poling family came to Midland to spend some time with us.  I feel so blessed that we've made such good life long friends with this sweet family.  I enjoyed every minute of there visit.  On Richards way home from work he picked up Allison from piano she stayed longer for a play date with her teachers daughter. The dads chatted and watched the little guys why us girls cooked in the kitchen and also chatted.  Dinner was fabulous and the desserts were perfection, cant ya tell I am a foddie!  After dinner the guys were watching a movie while the little boys were playing with each other.  The ladies cleaned the kitchen and chatted for a long time.  I sure have missed my friend and our daily chats.  We even had some great laughs while we looked at our wedding album and Allison's baby book.  Our friends left at 9 to drive back to Hobbs for a New Years Eve party and we headed out to our church family New Years Eve dance.

 I wasn't sure if our kiddos would make it tell midnight but they surprised me and stayed up!!  We had an absolute blast at the dance.  We got a chance to see a ton of our friends that we haven't seen since before we left to New Mexico.  Richard and I chatted all night with our friends and the kids danced, ate, and ran around with there friends.  The church had a projector with just dance videos playing songs like ghostbusters, what does the fox say, and gnam style.  All the kids were trying to copy the moves it was truly awesome to watch, Allison and her friends were totally into it.  Cooper mainly break danced, he has pretty sweet moves!  Beckett even danced his heart out, poor guy was so sleepy but insisted on staying up as long as mommy or daddy was holding him he was happy.  We almost didn't make back together as a family before midnight!  Cooper was running around with a few of his buddy's and we were looking for him and then Allison got lost in a crowd of people.  15 seconds before midnight I noticed Allison found Richard and the boys so we were able to count down together!  Cooper even got a kiss on midnight!!  Our friend Ryan and his girlfriend, plus Ryan's brother Brandon hung out with our family towards the end of the night.  Cooper was dancing with her most of the night and at midnight she gave him a kiss on the check.  I cant even describe how red Cooper's lil face was awe!!!  We were even invited to our friends midnight polar dip, they have a pool and count down to midnight and everyone jumps in the pool!  We were a little to exhausted to do that but maybe next year lol!  It was such an epic night, 2013 has been a GREAT year!
