A New Year's Eve Party

Jules from the Roost is hosting a party today!

It's a top ten of 2008 in pictures. We had to pick out our top ten favorite pictures--not an easy task when you have 4 kids! These are ones that warm my heart and bring back good times:

1.
This is from a very rare snow we had in early spring last year. The kids loved it and played in the stuff pretty much until it melted :)

2.

The last time Miley rode her little girl bike. Now she has one of those cute '50s style bright pink Schwinns and it's big. She doesn't look like a little girl on it.

3.
Three of my four kids on my lap--it happens more than you think. This was us getting ready for the college football season--a great season because we (Ohio State) beat Michigan. I'm not sure how we'll do again the Horns but I'll be making buckeyes regardless ;)

4.

Spanky got a bigger kick out of Dino's blast-ball games than Dino. He is ready to hit that ball!
5.

Sarah is such a great asset to the family--she can double as a puppy when need be.

6.
Yes, Spanky again--he's so cute I can't help it! Here he is in his hat. He loves his driving caps--he points out it to everyone he sees and says 'my hat'.

7.

Dino loved watching the Olympics with Michael Phelps so much that he wanted to start swimming lessons. He's still taking them today and wants to grow up to be an Olympic swimmer (and a taxi driver too but that's a different story!)
8.
Dino likes to look good. He's the only one of my bunch that sits still while I spike/style his hair. My girls scream because of knots and Spanky just runs. Dino also likes mirrors ;)

9.
Sarah and ballet. She loves ballet, really, really loves it! On ballet days she jumps out of bed and says 'today I have ballet'. And she actually likes to practice on off-days.

10.
Our Christmas card pic for the year--as usual matching PJs and smiles. It's just how we roll!

Happy New Year everyone! Have fun, be safe and see ya 'next year' :)
