We had a fun get together with other JBU couples on Sunday night (New Year's Eve Eve). Jackson and Krista were in town and staying with Dave and Mere, so we thought it was a great excuse for us all to get together!
I love these friends, and it is so fun that 5/6 of us live in NWA. We had a great night eating a ton of yummy food and talking.
The guys had fun together too. At one point we had no clue where they went, and then we found them in Dave and Mere's room watching an SNL skit on the computer. :)
Oh, right. There were also 16 kids there.
It is so great that Dave and Mere have a mostly-empty basement so the kids can eat down there, and play to their hearts content. You really would not have know there were 16 kids in the house that night.
The girls (minus Mikaiah and Norah) ate their dinner together at this table.
The boys (and Norah and Mikaiah) ate at the other table.
The girls had fun dressing up and played so well together. I love that all of our good JBU friends have kiddos the same age as ours, and that they all get along so well!
The older boys took a break later to watch some football with their daddies.
It was such a fun night!

The next night was New Year's Eve, and since Jackson and Krista were still in town, we headed over to the Adair house again to hang out with them. That night it was just us three couples with only 9 kids. :)
If this picture doesn't scream New Year's Eve party, I'm not sure what does!
This was the first year that we let our older two stay up until midnight with us. I think we've ruined it forever, and they will forever want to stay up until midnight now on New Year's Eve. Oh well, it was pretty fun to watch how excited they were.
Kylah made it until almost 11:00, and then she was out. She slept for about 15 minutes on me, and then when we tried to lay her down in a bed, she woke up and cried because she still wanted to stay up with everyone. Her cat nap refreshed her and she was up for midnight!
(this is when she was sleeping...)
This picture cracks me up, because these kids were trying so hard to watch a movie and stay awake until midnight. They did it!
I think 2013 is going to be a great year!
