Birthday Girl Brie and Happy 2010!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY #7!
Brielle, you ARE special today...January 5th, 2010.
Brie requested spaghetti and salad and garlic cheese bread and she made strawberry cupcakes with chocolate frosting and pink and white sprinkles which were really yummy with her favorite chocolate ice cream...my favorite, too!

Make a wish and blow out the candle while we sing the birthday song.

Ready to open presents.

Beautiful new pink bike from her Mom & Dad.

Grandpa and the birthday girl.

Host and hostess at the New Year's Eve party in Provo.

What a fun evening of good food and games with Leslie, Autumn, David, Michele, Cory, Paula, Laur, Abram and Airie (and 2 ratonies). Thanks for inviting us.
(I didn't have to clean the house before and after.)

Baron and Brielle...time to go home...it's after midnight and we're going to turn into pumpkins! We're grateful that the weather cooperated with no snow.

The remains of the goodies...cheese balls, veggies and ranch dip, olives, of course, tortilla roll-ups ham/cream cheese/spinach, personal sized bacon/onion/parmesan/swiss quiche, Hawaiian meatballs with pineapple and peppers, popcorn with assorted seasonings, guacamole, chili queso, chips, snickerdoodles, candy...Well, you ARE supposed to eat the old year out and new year in. We didn't have any trouble.

Dad concentrating on Wii Bowling.
We also played a game of charades with 20 headlines from 2009. Brie's moonwalk and collapse on the floor was perfect for the death of Michael Jackson.
Wii Mario Brothers was a hit.
Bowling audience.
At the strike of 12 we saw the ball drop and Mom and Brie and Baron blew bubbles. Then we watched some great fireworks out the back door. We hope 2010 will be a happy and healthy and prosperous year for everyone.
