OCHO!!!

Kevin & Julie hosted a New Year's Eve party at their house.  This was particularly generous since they let us invite our friends!  We were trying to do the best we could with seeing as many of our family & friends without having a completely chaotic schedule on our trip, so this worked perfectly for us.  The Bachman & Jacobsen families and, of course, Grandma Carol & Grandpa Pete, joined us to par-tay!  We played pool, Yahtzee & dominos and had plenty to eat and drink. 

Sorry, Julie... I had to post this one.  You know you love it!

We kept the party going until it was time to ring in the new year.  With champagne in our hands, we watched the ball drop in New York City and yelled OCHO (in Kelly's honor) at midnight!  We even recreated the group shot from (what year was it, Julie???) 2011?  SO MUCH FUN!  (Thanks to Julie for finding the picture so we could all get in the right places! We just had to swap out Sarah's friend for Evan since he wasn't there this year.)

And a few "outtakes"...
