Starting 2010 Off Right?

Can you guess how many Mt. Dew's this child has had? These children were able to stay up till 6am, went to sleep on the couch and got up at 9:30am. They were troopers.
He tried to stay up with the adults but once his head hit the pillow "He gone".

Tyler was so tired and just wanted to keep partying.

Karsyn, Tanner, and Matthew. They must have got a hold of my camera.

They were playing poker with candy. No wonder they could stay up all night.

She looks like I felt.

This picture is about 3am. When it was way past my bedtime. I could hear my pillow calling my name. But when you host the party you can't just leave. Even though my friends know I can fall asleep at the table playing games.
Here is the gang. Sorry about the pics. My new camera was not adjusted for indoor light. But you can see us all.
These guys are just crazy. What can you say. They are great friends of Wayne's and we love them.
This year for New Years, like every New Years, we had a party with our dear friends. We had plenty of food and Mt. Dew to last a few days and that really turned into a good thing. We started around 6:30 on the Eve playing games, rock band, guitar hero, card games, and board games. Of course the T.V. was on and there was some bowl games and basketball games on also. We had 8 adults and 6 children and we had a blast.

At midnight we lit firecrackers and ran outside yelling (sorry to the neighbors) and played more games. The Godfreys left around 12:30. I thought we could go to bed around 2 but they had other plans. This is were the peer pressure comes in I am sure. Everyone but I, decided to do an all nighter, even the kids. I have never been able to pull that off. I love my sleep, I need my beauty rest. So the games continued. At 3-4am I was losing it but they kept saying go till 5 and we will have breakfast then you can go to bed. At 6am we had biscuits and gravy. We all went to bed about 6:30am and we all got back up at 1pm and had eggs and bacon for the second breakfast. We watched bowl games and ate more food, had dinner and played games till midnight. We figured we were awake and playing games for 40hours. Wow I am way to old for that. It took me the whole weekend to recover and get some sleep back. All in all it was the best. I had so much fun with my friends as far as doing it again? They say I have a year to get ready for. I don't think I will fall to peer pressure again.

I hope all of your New Years was great. Here's to a HaPpY 2010!
