Happy New Year!

The people in The Village don't tend to get out all that much.  So this year, Patrick, Amy and Julie put together a great dance party for us.  I was a little dubious at first, but it turned out to be just the thing.  Here are the girls, don't they look pretty?  Bell changed dresses about 8 times.  This is her wedding dress that made Scarlett go, "Oooooh!"

Party rockers in the house tonight!  All the kids had fun staying up late, but Finn and Lorelei shut the party down.  (With help from Marilyn.  Thank you Marilyn!)

Pretty Adrienne, ready to dance.

Lovely Michelle, also ready to dance. 

Jamie concocting one of his crazy shots.

This one looks a bit like absinthe and seemed to have the same effect.

Patrick and his sister Amy swing dancing.  I wish we had more pictures of everyone dancing.  Thor, Algis and Daniel all turned out to be great dancers, but you'll just have to take our word for it. The kids were pretty crazy cute doing their shuffling dance, but somehow it seems we were all too drunk and busy dancing ourselves to take many pictures.

A proper way to spend New Year's Day.

Three tired boys.  In case you can't read the awesome sign below that Amy had the kids make for us, Happy New Year everyone!  We hope this new year brings everybody many, many good things.
