Hapy New Year ~2010~

So the plan was to stay home with the girls so we didn't encounter any drunk drivers on the roads. Seems New Years Eve is amiture night for that. But when the girls kept saying they wanted to go bye-bye, I decided to pack them up and we headed toward O'fallon, Mo. We first stopped The Cheeks house. Then when mama decided she was not feeling well at all we headed over to Aunt Val and Uncle Johns house where we got to visit Great Grandma, Great Grandpa and Aunt and Uncle Sharon & Kerry that we hardly ever get to see but 2 or so times a year. We hung out there till about 10pm then headed back to Mama and Papas house to be off the roads well before 12. The pictures explain how the rest of our night went. Enjoy & Happy New Year!

Singing Happy Birthday to Aunt val, Aunt Sharon & Mama Cheek. Mama Cheek was too sick to attend the festivities. But Kaitlyn enjoyed singing Happy Birthday 3 times and getting to blow the candles out about 7 times.

Practicing the proper technique for banging pots and pans together for the 12 o'clock celebration



My girls and I just after midnight (12:05am) according to the clock in the background. Kaitlyn stayed awake till about 12:10. I had to really work to keep her awake, it felt kindof good keeping them awake for a change and not the other way around.

On January 1st we got to hang out with Uncle Bill and his Family. Kiera and Cannan(hope I spelled it correctly) really enjoyed eachothers company. They all played for hours without inncodent.

Kiera thinks she is being sneaky here, not realizing I am snapping a photo
