NYE

New Year's Eve - We decided that this year we would bring the reds along with us to the NYE party being held at the FESM (Portuguese Hall in Manteca where Mr. G. is a member of...well I guess I am as well). Anywhooooo, since my sister was coming along with us we decided the reds would be her dates for the evening. I mean come on, who wouldn't want those two very handsome boys as escorts. She even made them each a boutonniere that matched her dress. Granted Lucas wanted to rip it off within the first minute but it was the sweet thought that counts. I'm sure by the time prom comes around he will learn better manners.

My sis and I greeted everyone as they entered the hall to make sure they had tickets and pass out their party hats. The reds ran around the hall with the other kids and Mr. G was behind the bar making sure everyone got more than their fair share of drinks that night. Dinner was steak and shrimp so of course the reds ate everything in sight....FAT CHANCE. Let's see, one consumed bread and butter while the other had bread and a few bites of steak. Dinner was over with around 8:30ish and the youngest red was passed out on a makeshift bed of four chairs by 9pm. Some date he was. The eldest red partied with us until after midnight and enjoyed his first glass (ok maybe 4) of sparkling apple cider. It was a fun way to say goodbye 2009 and HELLO 2010!!!!
