Ice Skating New Year's Eve...

v

On New Year's Eve, after an excellent challenge was brought to the church by Brent, we had a dinner fellowship. Then, we headed over for a few hours of skating to usher in the new year!

Lizzy and Jessie...

My beautiful sisters!

A.J. and Caleb taking a breather...

I helped Anna around the first few times, but she caught on pretty quickly!

Samantha...I hate to admit it, but she beat me in a race! :o)

Emily is our shutterbug...

There were a lot of people on the rink that night...

Stephi couldn't skate due to doctor's orders, so she grabbed some pics for our blog with my camera.

Lizzy and Clara...

Dad and the A.J. man...

The little guys from the church enjoyed the challenge of just staying up! :o)

Mom and Nathan kept watch from the upper balcony...

Brent, Kait and Dad watch the skaters...

This picture makes me smile and feel sorry at the same time. This little guy was flying around the ice on his sneakers like the energizer bunny and having the time of his life, but near the end (12:00), he looked so tired and cold! I can guarantee that the little guys weren't the only solid sleepers that night though! :o)
