New Year's Eve

We planned to ring in the new year with Jenn and fam; however, Elam got sick at the last minute so we had to take a rain-check on the fun.

Since we had a lot of yummy food prepared, Chuck and Shannon came over for the evening.  Karsten was bummed that his friends Eden and Elam weren't coming, but perked up when we told him that Grandma and Papa were coming over instead.  

Karsten was obsessed with Madison's elephant toy - he liked watching the tail and elephant unroll each time he squeezed it.  


Liam hanging out while we ate.


Karsten and Papa playing with the firetruck.  An empty wrapping paper roll makes the perfect fire hose.  The current game with the firetruck is to have one of us sit on the back of the firetruck while he drives to the 'mergency'.  He'll turn the siren on and turn the steering wheel back and forth furiously.


Karsten had a few too many appetizers so he didn't eat much dinner.  Shortly before bed he decided he was hungry.  He had a lot of fun with Grandma while they were having a snack.  


Grandma, Papa and Liam.


The hand wreath gives me a nice crown doesn't it. :)
