New Years Eve

New Years Eve/Joe's birthday, as always, is celebrated at Uncle Al & Lala Elsa's house with a big Cioppino dinner. This year, the count was up to 40. The little ones have a back bedroom to run around in. This picture was taken before Aiden got there. When he did, leave it up to the 2 oldest (Peyton & Tyler) to put Aiden in the shower because he was running after them. At least, they did not turn on the water!! Haylee and Cheyenne waiting for the cioppino to cook in the garage.
About half of the crowd enjoying the cioppino and polenta. Check out the "Happy New Year" sign on the garage door. Each year, everyone has to sign it or update their year. This sign was made by Juliane and her friend, Mary, in 1973. Uncle Al rolls it up every year to protect it for next year.
The other half of the group filling up on the scrumptious meal.

Kamdyn and Cheyenne enjoying dinner - Cheyenne even tasted a little crab and shrimp. Haylee was already taking a snooze at this point, getting her 2nd wind for the later festivities.

Tyler and Peyton just could not wait for the "Thief" game to start. All they saw were presents - they had no idea that the contents of those presents were not worth the wait.
