So long 2010...HELLO 2011!!!

We had a fantastic New Year's Eve and New Year's! I was so excited to say goodbye to 2010. It wasn't the best year for us and I have high hopes that 2011 will be a great year for our family. We celebrated New Year's Eve with some of my family. My brother TJ and his wife Lynette invited us over for dinner and games. We had a ton of fun! We were a little worried about how the boys would do staying up so late, but they did awesome! My nephew Jacob has every toy an 8 yr old (or 4 and 2 yr old) could ever want, and they boys were in heaven! We hardly heard from them the entire night. It was fun to hang out with some of my siblings, as well as my nieces and nephews. We started off with yummy Cafe Rio and then played games the rest of the night. We shared a lot of laughs and even learned a couple of new terms of endearment { aka Round Bottom :) }. Thanks again to TJ and Lynette for hosting the fun little shindig!

Here are some random pictures from the night:

Then, New Year's Day started off with a bang! We met up with our friends at The Incredible Pizza Co. We have been wanting to check it out for a while and we are really glad we did. They have go karts, mini golf, mini bowling, laser tag, bumper cars, arcade games, and a pretty intense pizza, pasta, and much more buffet! Somehow our friend Jonny found out about an incredible {secret} deal they were having. We were able to get unlimited everything {including food} for $10 a person! Best part? The guy didn't make us pay for the boys, so we got our whole family in for $20 bucks! We had a blast! We played all day long and definitely got our money's worth. The boys keep begging to go back.

This was probably my favorite thing to watch the boys do. Beckett was so cute on every turn. He would throw it down, wait, and then jump if he hit any balls. I included a video so you could see for yourself. Here are some pictures to illustrate his technique.

Below are two cute videos of the boys bowling. Rob recorded them sideways and I can't figure out how to rotate them. So just tilt your head a little sideways :)

What a fun way to kick off the new year! We can't wait to go back.
