Happy New Year!!! We had a Fondue party at the Laflan's house this year. It is such a great way to mingle and eat and get full faster than you would at a regular meal. This allows more room later for the chocolate fondue! 
Sarah, Me, Andi, and Rochel
The boys played some Wii while we got things ready in the kitchen. We later laughed so hard as we all tried the Wii fit. Ski jumping, downhill skiing, head-butting soccer balls, and also a bowling tournament. Andi killed us all with her superior wrist action.

Next we did a French tradition that my mom adapted into our family during Christmas. Everyone cuts the cake until a charm is found. Whoever cuts into it is the King/Queen of the New Year.
This is serious stuff..concentrate!
My concentration failed me. Sarah and Tony ended up getting the charms. All hail the King and Queen of the New Year! :) Notice the massacred cake.

Then we rang in the New Year. Gotta love those confetti poppers! I am surprised they didn't wake up all the kids!
We had fun pretending to party in New York after the ball dropped.
I was so excited I almost swallowed my gum. (gotta have fresh breath for that kiss)
Rochel and I (is it 1 in the morning already?).
With all the sparkling cider sprinkled with pop rocks and chocolate fondue we could have partied all night...well at least until 2 or 3, but alas we had to get our kids to their own beds.
