Jamie's 9th birthday

For Jamie's 9th birthday party we had family and friends over for a combination birthday/new year's eve party. First we played kickball up at the school. Then we had families over for dinner (taco bar) and some cake (german chocolate). We also turned on the music and the disco ball for some dancing fun. After a bunch of people left, we tried to stay awake until midnight but the kids had fun with all the noisemaker fireworks that I had purchased long before we rang in the new year. Tristan got so tired that he went into our bed and fell asleep (because there were too many kids in his room). Then just before midnight Tristan woke up and had peed the bed (luckily not much) but he was wet and crying and we were trying to get him to bed and the extra mattresses set up for Kristy, Pat, Ruby and Lulu. Needless to say, we missed it when the clock struck midnight :) But Jamie says it was a great party so I can call it a success.
