Fun with friends in '09

We had a great New Year's Eve even if we were home by 11:30 and I was the only one up at midnight! :) Tony, Jill and Madison invited us to their house for some fun and good food! We had plenty of food and to our surprise the kids played great together and it was a pretty relaxing night! We weren't really surprised that Madison and Andi got along but very impressed with TJ and how well he played and that he didn't break anything!!

Andi and Madison cozy in the recliner playing

everyone into the "butterfly game"

Notice all the nice picture frames behind Jill and TJ didn't even bother them!

Travis showing the girls how its really done!

Tony playing Candy Land with the kiddos.

Madison showing TJ where his nose is.

We met the Schuster Family in Columbia at Red Lobster for our annual Christmas get together and again had lots of fun and great food!! We were there for almost 2 hours but it still wasn't enough time with them. Even though they are in Iowa and live closer it seems like we see them less now. That might be because Debbie is busy with less than 2 months left until baby Schuster #2 gets here!

Debbie with a lap full and gracious enough to hold Andi along with Cole! I love Cole's "cheese face" in this picture. Cole and Andi were cracking us all up because they were so lovey with each other! I wish I would have had the video camera so we could show them later when they get older!!
