New Year's Eve Bash 2010

Disclaimer: These pictures are really bad quality.  But, we did want to document!

Rocco and I have been wanting to start a tradition of hosting a New Year's Eve party at our home.  So, when we found out that the Cocks would be playing on New Year's Eve, we knew this was the year to start.  We had a house full of family and friends!  We had the Bowl Game going for the adults, games with prizes for the kids, a money pinata, fireworks, and games for the adults.  Our night started at 6:30 and ended at 4:30, with some overnighters.  Honestly, I never thought that our house would be up to par again, but we had it back and running by the next afternoon.

Here's Jonah doing a sparkler.

Amber and Vince patiently waiting for Roc to give them another round.

Gigi's getting her turn in.  This is also where we did our "prize walk". 

This is our money pinata.  This was after midnight, but everyone hit their second wind.  This is Little Anthony getting a turn with his dad there for support.  Everyone else was anxiously awaiting their turn.  (Below: Isabel is giving it a go...)

Rocco and Anthony were showering the kids with real money and chocolate money.  The teenagers were so good, they were able to get money and not trample the little ones.  I think everyone got about $3-$6 a piece.  However, we are definately going to have to find more room!

Jonah nailed the pinata!  Then, Vince came up and finished the job!

The next pictures are from my phone.  How sad that they are so much better than the ones on my camera!

 Ethan was watching the fireworks from a distance.

 Just the two of us.  We were able to sneak a picture.

Kristin popped in for a visit.  Here she is texting at midnight.

We would love to have some of our out of towners here next year!  We will be tweaking it all year, always trying to improve...
