New Year's in Lincoln

Well, here are the pictures from New Years. We decided not to do the traditional New Year's Eve activities of hanging out and playing games all night while eating delicious appetizer and snacky foods all night since we had already played a lot of games over the course of the last week as well as being small in number. So we did something different and went out to eat. We dined at the Green Gateau for dinner.
Victory and I then headed to the blockbuster downtown to see if we could find a Doris Day movie to watch. Just so you know, the only blockbuster in town that is supposed to have old movies, has NOT even one Doris Day movie. So we ended up watching Kerry Grant movie, I think it was entitled, "War Bride". Funny.
We still had an hour or so to kill so we played Guestures. Wow! The two times my family has played that game in the last year, Dad has been the star of the show. It is quite hilarious to watch him frantically act out the words. The last time we played, he did fire hydrant. What did my dad do? He lifted up his leg like a dog. Hilarious. This year, it was hurdles. That was so funny that Stephanie went into a laughing fit-to the point we were afraid she would go into pre-term labor. And for the crowning event of the evening, dad and Jeff did a balloon drop. They used the holes in the walls from our wedding to string a huge bag of balloons. To make it even more exciting Dad put pieces of paper in there promising $1 or even $5. Josh and Deanne ended up with all the loot. Victory and I went home empty handed. Even then it was a pretty awesome New Year’s Eve.

looks fun, but why are there holes in the walls from you wedding?

At the Sean Randall house most of us were in bed by 10:00pm because I (amy) was sick and Sean is such the party animal that every one went to bed.

Alissa,
You really ought to try Netflix. You can get anything there. We love it!
