Happy New Year 2009

Luke makes a New Year mask


Pretty Butterfly


Spiderman!

We put on many layers of clothes last night and headed downtown to First Night. The layers were due to the cold temperatures that have returned to our area. Many businesses participated in the event and once you purchased tickets all the venues were free. We spent most of our time at the YMCA standing in a long line for face painting. There was one painter and many many faces! The kids were determined so we stuck it out and the results were great. They had inflatables there as well that the kids enjoyed. We then went over to the Lander's theater to see the YES troop perform. The YES troop is a group of very talented high school kids who have spent many years perfecting their stage performances. Luke and Lily were both tired at the beginning of the show (9:30pm) but woke up when the dancing started and stayed awake until it was over an hour later. We headed home and didn't stay for the midnight fireworks. They are too young and John and I are too old. Happy New Year to everyone.
