Happy New Year--It's 2011

As always, holidays are all about the food. An Arnell tradition, that we continue, is to "eat the old year out and the new year in." So, we ate throughout the evening! Thanks, Airie for the cherry tarts which we enjoyed with vanilla ice cream and thanks, Autumn for the spicy bean dip with nacho cheese Doritos. We also had lots of nuts and chips with onion dip and olives and candy and chex mix, etc.

Colby...quite the Wii bowler.

The party people have donned their party hats.

Testing out the horns.

And the ball touches down at the stroke of midnight. Welcome 2011!

Excited to greet another new year!

Making noise.

Serpentine and champagne party poppers.

The highlight of the evening was playing Rock Band Beatles. We all took turns on the guitars and the vocals.

Mom and Dad had a great time with some of their favorite music. Dad was awesome on the guitar.

Airie and Baron moved on to Metallica.

Good Morning World! It's January 1st! We watched some of the Tournament of Roses Parade.

We spent the day playing games including BeRhymed, Apples to Apples, Nain Jaune, Screwy Louis and pinochle (the boys won, but it was a pretty even game.)

Colby playing with the Barker marble collection.

Settled in for Papa Murphy Pizza and several football games including The Rose Bowl.

We were happy (well, maybe not right this second)to see TCU beat Wisconsin.
Sunny, cold day, perfect for vegging out in front of the tube. (Can you still call it a tube?)


The rockers got more vigorous after this number.

We had an awesome time. It's too bad we didn't get a shot of Dad grooving on the guitar. Oh well. Next time. Thanks so much!!!
