Happy New Year!

Happy New Year
from the Klimek Family!
~~~
The kids spent the evening ushering in the new year with friends.
Austin went snowboarding with a bunch of guys to Afton Alps and rung in 2010 on the slopes.
~~~
Abby had her friend, Brenda, over for a night of fun at the Klimek house...
~~~
Andrew was invited to a friend's house for a New Year's Party--here he is with Carson and Jake modeling the 2010 glasses before I took them to the party...
~~~
Even Sophie and Jack got in on the festivities!
~~~
Brenda and Abby spent quite a bit of time constructing a gingerbread house--all the while proudly wearing my new "hot cocoa" aprons that were a Christmas gift from Auntie Lou and Uncle Louis! (thanks again!)
~~~
They worked hard on their creation...
~~~
And it took some teamwork to get all of the pieces together...
~~~
And when it was all done, the gingerbread house was spectacular!
~~~
Abby, Brenda, Jamie, and I toasted in 2010 with some "champagne" while watching a re-run of the Times Square ball dropping at midnight central time. We blew our horns and hollered "Happy New Year"--much to Jack's disgust!
~~~
And when all of the celebrating was done, we were all "dog-tired" and found a bed to crawl into.
Happy New Year to all of our family and friends! Blessings to you in 2010!
Love,
the Klimek Family

New Years in Fergus Falls was also toasted in at midnight and then everyone went back to their sleeping quarters and promptly fell asleep! Had an email from Woody wishing all a Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to the Klimek's! We were amazed at ourselves as we were able to stay up until midnight! Yeah! I didn't think we could do it. We were able to spend New Year's Day with Betsy, Philip, Aunt Lou & Uncle Lewis...had a good time together. Abz - love the gingerbread house!! Carter reminded me today that we forgot to do one this year. Maybe I could find one 50% off at Walmart. :-)
