New Years with the Princes

We, a bit spontaneously, drove up to SLC to spend New Year's with the Prince family. Michelle and Brian were still there (they are back here now for a few days) and Cynthia generously invited us. We had a fun New Year's Party. We danced Just Dance on the Wii:
And played games and had LOTS of delicious snacks
Even Baby Jaron stayed up for the festivities
See the clock in the background: What a great way to start the new year- holding a baby!
The midnight kiss (or almost)
Poor Matthew had to kiss Cassie, the dog:
New Year's morning, we had our traditional aebelskivers for breakfast:
After church, we enjoyed a delicious salmon New Years dinner:
It was a fun weekend- and so much better than spending the new year in our quiet empty nester house. Thank you, Princes!

You had the craziest, most fun, (and probably loud in a good way) Christmas holiday ever! Your grandkids are absolutely adorable. Wish we could have stopped by like last year and seen you guys and the BD.:)

That IS a great way to welcome the new year! Daddy looks tireder than Jaron though. Do Princes do aebleskievers too?

New years wouldn't have felt like a holiday without you, especially since you brought the aebleskiver pan and expertise with you. :) Thank you SO so much for coming!!!

How fun!! We did a fake countdown (Puerto Rico countdown) and went to bed early. I'm so lame!!
