New Years Eve

For the last seven years we have had a tradition of spending New Years Eve with our very good friends Scott and Melissa.  The tradition started back in 2003 when Terence had moved into his first apartment.  Going out on New Years has never really appealed to us.  Instead we stayed in and played Mexican Train Dominos.  It was super fun!

This is all of us at midnight 1/1/2004.  We drank sparkling apple cider, blew noise makers and popped those poppers that have all the streamers in them.  Scott and Terence have also made a tradition of trying to drink an entire bottle of Mountain Dew.   Over the years we have continued our tradion.  A couple of years we had to have"fake New Years Eve" as one of us would have to work the actual night or was out of town for work or school. 

We also have changed our games that we play over the years.  New Years of 2006 we played blackjack and the last two years we have played Pinochle.  The Mountain Dew drinking has also slowed down considerably.  I hope that it's a tradition we continue for years to come.  It's a fun, safe way to ring in the New Year with people we love!

Here are some pictures from this year:

The only group picture we have is the one from our kiss at midnight.  Sorry if you think it's cheesy! 

This is the picture of my table scape. I was pretty proud of it.

I reached another milestone in my life on New Years.  It was the first time I have ever had my own "kids table"

For some reason every year we end up wearing all the streamers.
