New Years

Lexi's friend, Chancy, had a New Years party tonight. They had a great time. Jordan and I were at a party at the church. We picked her up when it was over. Chancy's mom let them toilet paper her neighbor's house. He is a 30 year old guy that they like to pull pranks on. They kept most of the TP on the ground though because Chancy will be responsible for cleaning it up. 

New Year’s Day

We came back to Katy today to spend New Year's Day with some of our favorite friends. Grandma, Papa, and Aunt Paige came with us, but we didn't get photos of them. We had finger foods (Cowboy Caviar), ate dinner (ribs & sauerkraut), socialized, played reverse charades (where the team acts it out and one person guesses), and watched the Incredibles. We always have a lot of good laughs when we are with them.  

New Years Eve

We celebrated New Year's Eve at Grandma and Papa's house with Aunt Paige. Jordan did most of the party planning with Grandma. We ate finger foods, played games (Cranium & Apples to Apples), watched Guardians of the Galaxy 2, drank sparkling cider, and watched the NY ball drop at 11 pm. 

New Years Eve

We celebrated New Years Eve at the Jones' house. We always have a good time with them and this was no exception. The evening started off with outdoor games including corn hole and yard Yahtzee. Next, we had dinner. They always have pork chops and sauerkraut for their New Years Eve dinner. We could use all the luck in the world, so that's a good thing. 

Later, we played some hilarious games and laughed too much. Did you happen to notice a lot of maroon clothing? Would you believe that it wasn't planned??? Somehow, several of the kids decided to be Texas A&M fans. My kids got theirs for Christmas since they are both on basketball teams called the Aggies. 

First Day of the New Year, Last Day with Paige

Happy New Year! We celebrated this fun holiday with Grandma Margie, Papa Malcolm and Aunt Paige. In the morning (mid-morning), we went to the Palladium to watch a movie. As we were walking out, we just had to stop and take pictures with the Star Wars posters and stuff. Yes, we're fans, but Lexi not as much.

After the movie, we headed to Gallery Furniture. That might sound odd, but this one is quite an attraction. They have lots of cool decorations and they always have free Blue Bell Ice Cream. Yum!!!

Paige couldn't end her trip without some truly authentic Texas BBQ. We went to Midway BBQ in Old Katy for that. The hunting prizes that decorate the walls are all part of the authentic Texas experience. I think Paige really liked one in particular.

New Years Eve Celebration

We celebrated the coming of the New Year with some of our very close friends.  Gram & Papa invited their grandkids & my kids to sleep over so we wouldn't have to wrap up the party early.  The kids had lots of fun and then got into their pjs and watched a movie while the adults played card games.  After midnight, the parents of all the kids left.  We all had a great night.  Of course, I wish I would have taken more pictures.
