Happy New Year!!!

The Summer's hosted the big bash at their house this year!! Alex was with Melissa all day making preparations for the party. He had some very specific ideas in mind and it is a good thing that Melissa is a very patient, loving aunt!!!
Alex really wanted to have a "ball drop" they made a cute tissue paper ball and hung it up on the ceiling!! The decorations were very cute and festive!
The food was so delicious and she went all out with the drinks and dipped all the cups in sugar!! But those were for our "New Years Toast."

 

Some people really got dressed up for the party!! Alexa, Brooklyn and Brinlie looked beautiful!!!

Steve has been working on the basement and got it done a few days ago. They have a theater room and just outside the theater room...
a popcorn machine and concessions stand...fully loaded!! It is amazing and wonderful, we all enjoyed it alot!
He hooked his PlayStation 3 up in the theater room and we played Rock Band, it was FUN!!!

It was getting close to the countdown so mom got out all her party supplies...hats, horns, confetti, streamers etc.
This is going to be a HUGE mess!!!
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2,
HAPPY 2010!!! Alexa cut the ball and the craziness began!!!

 

I think the kids had way too much sugar...they were out of control!! But it was a night to remember!!!

I got a New Year's kiss from two of my favorite boys!!

A "toast" for 2010

 

Here's hoping it's a great year!!!
Can't have a party without a little photo shoot!!

The fun continued while the kids rolled around in the mess and threw it in the air and all over everyone!!!

 

The clean-up was not as bad as it looked and we all helped out so that Steve would let us come back again!! Melissa and Steve were both great sports and excellent hosts!! For sure a night to remember!!
