Happy New Year!

We were lucky enough to bring in the 2008 with 6 of the Elite 8. (We missed you Hannah, Merrick and Gracie!) Annie and Kevin hosted, Melissa and Justin met us there too, and we all had a great time eating, drinking, playing Imaginiff, and of course chatting. Joel and I didn't get home until 3am- quite unusual for us tired parents. It was great fun though.


Everyone loves a little chocolate fondue! Especially these boys!


Me, Annie, and Melissa...pals since BIO, in Winter of 2000...before either of them were with their now hubbies!

Meanwhile, the rest of the Gibson 5, (our kids), celebrated with Nana Pam. Carter turned in around 9, Madeline made it until midnight, and Garrett boy couldn't quite do it...he fell asleep at 11:55 and could NOT be woken up! Maybe next year sweet boy.

The Bigs set the table for Nana as a surprise.


Special New Year's Dinner.


He almost made it!


Sissy's an old pro at staying up these days.
