Happy New Year!!!

This year we decided to countdown at the Strip. (My parents went back to Corona because they were working, but my sister stayed with us.) We did not know what to expect. We had fun, but we don't think we will be doing it again next year. It was very crowded and cold. It was, however, much tamer than I imagined. I guess most of the partying were done inside the clubs, not outside. There were lots of families around us, but of course, being Vegas, there were some crazyness also. I also spotted some people sharing the gospel.
Here is a pic of us getting ready to go. We really did not plan to go to the strip (to avoid the crowd and crazyness), we were going to do a LOST season 3 marathon and order some food, but at the last minute Brent decided to go. I think it was because my sister and I had taken a drive down the strip to see how crazy it was earlier that night (that was a fun drive... but a whole other story...) When he found out we did that, he said, he wanted to see it too, so we just decided to countdown there, regardless of the craziness. Anyway while my sister and I drove down the strip earlier that night we found vendors all ever the selling New Year's souveniers. So we put them on when before we went back out.
Here is Aaron wearing the stuff we got. By the way, those glasses broke 10 seconds after taking that picture. Aaron dropped it and it broke in half. (I guess that's why it was only $2.)

You're very welcome for the presents! And thank you for the candle and the purse (I love the scent and I'm using the purse already!). Moriah loves the Bratz make up set -- she's been using it all week, looking all pretty! Hahaha.

Are we still going to the snow on the 12th?

My parents are actually out there right now - they've been there since the 1st. My uncle was out there for the countdown too - not that you would've seen him. :) Love the glasses - Aaron looks too cute in them.
