New Year’s Eve party

December 31, 2012-

Jill and Mitch and their two lovely twin daughters hosted FABULOUS party at their home.

Families that attended the party: 

Pauwels Family

Parris Family (JUST arrived in Tianjin from the USA!)

Lilac & Family

Nick & Trena & Daughters

 And…once again I forgot to take photos of the event!  Here are a few that I snapped:

Lots and lots of pizzas to feed the hungry horde of kids!

Lots and lots of kids. Annika was playing so hard she was sweating!

The kids getting dressed up to light a paper lantern outside.

Sadly, I only managed to get one photo outdoors but it looks like a small light circle in the sky.  :-P There wasn't any wind so the paper lantern went straight up, up and away!!!

Jill had the bartender/owner?/manager?  from a Mexican restaurant (TJ Mex…and I finally figured out that TJ stands for….wait for it….Tianjin! LOL!!!  Why didn't I think of that???  I thought it was the owner's initials!) come make margaritas and guacamole for us.  They really do make a mean margarita!  

Mitch and Jill also have a karaoke machine of sorts.  It was hilarious listening to everyone sing songs…and DANCE!!!!  I know our girls had LOADS of fun singing and dancing!!!!

10…9...8….7…6….5…4…3…2……….1!  

Happy New Year!!!!!! 

I can't believe that we actually stayed awake to ring in the new year this year!  I can't remember the last time we did that!!!!  

Thank you, Mitch and Jill for a fun evening!!!
