New Years Eve

Here are those darling Ratchford/Saenz children all decked out for their very first New Years Eve party.

And what a party it was!  Kid paradise, I tell you.  Dancing, running around, acting crazy, yummy food, noise makers, total anarchy, balloons full of confetti - all the ingredients for a kid-rockin' New Years Eve.  

Evan's pre-cupcake face.

Declan and his buddy Corbin.

Me, Evan, and Evan's belly.

Liam and Irlyn.

And then the dance competition began. 

Sam wowed the crowd with his mad break-dancing skills.

Wait, isn't this guy too old for the competition? (And is he constipated?)

Grace shows off her "Egyptian moves."

There goes the old guy again.  What's up with his "dancing face?"

Luckily for the parents, we got to watch the NY ball fall at 9:00 and pretend it was midnight.  (Love that Pacific time zone sometimes.)  

Then it was outside for as many fireworks as the rainy night would allow. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
