new years

new year's this year was just my family plus darren's friend tiahnan and my friend danielle. we mostly played games, ate food, and made fun of Evan. the kids slept through the whole thing, including the midnight noise we made w/ noisemakers and poppers and everything. here are a few pics from midnight itself.

tiahnan, darren, ev, mom, danielle

this pic deserves a little explanation: we don't own a TV. and apparently other people care about watching a clock tick down on new years. so we watched the NY new years on Evan's laptop at 9pm. Then, the next thing you know, it's almost our new years and my mom tells Evan to pull soemthing up on his laptop. she says go to komo (the local news station) and it will be there, quick, hurry, click on it. So evan goes to the site, and clicks on the first thing he sees. It is about goats. So as the clock struck midnight, we are all laughing REALLY hard, as evan shows us this video about goats eating christmas trees.

we continued to watch it, of course.
