New Years Eve

We had the Frampton family party on New Years Eve, and of course we played some really fun games that no one has ever heard of. You were supposed to have one big person and one little person paired up, but there weren't enough little people, so Grandma and I decided we'd go ahead and win it together.

You were supposed to pick up your partner at some point like Jamey and Michelle....

Uh... that's as far as Grandma and I got

We got eliminated pretty quick since we couldn't do anything right... I'm supposed to be a diving board, and Grandma is supposed to be kneeling on the edge of the board, ready to spring into the water.

There was a big dispute to who won, so the leaders of the two teams (uncle Jason and aunt Coz) had to hold arms and sing "Love at Home" which was a rule in their house when siblings fought they were kids.

Devin stayed home from the party to take care of this sick little pup.  No wonder she's a daddy's girl.

In the evening, my favorite friends in the world -Steph and Braden Andersen came over to the Beck's house and we had a little party... mostly a laugh fest.  Love those times.  At our own New Year's time (about 10:30), we sent this giant Chinese lantern that the Andersens brought over up into the sky. Here are the two engineers at work.

Ready to lauch

Just craning our necks to watch it float away

Love this little one

We laughed so hard at this picture for about 5 minutes.  No one looks human in it. It was a successful night and we were in bed by 11pm.
