For our annual New Year's Eve party, we decided on a Chinese New Year theme. Allyse made paper Chinese lanterns to hang in the kitchen and everyone brought their favorite Chinese entrees. For dessert, we had a Red Velvet cake and a White Chocolate Raspberry cake from Nothing Bundt Cakes, with fortune cookies as a chaser.
Grandma Kathleen and Diana Stephens enjoyed the Chinese food.
Uncle David explained to Joseph the finer points of getting a hot date for New Year's Eve.
Stephen was proud that he mastered eating with chopsticks without poking out an eye.
Anna Gunnerson and her father enjoyed a quiet moment (and believe me, it was only a moment.)
Nora and Angelina played with puzzles.
Stephen was so overcome by the great dinner that his eyes started to roll back in his head.
Allyse and Joshua schooled their cousins on the air hockey table.
Corbin and his friend were the latest victims of the unbeatable duo of Allyse and Joshua.
After dinner, we gathered together for some family fun: concentration game with 2009 family pictures, family puzzle race, and "Name that Baby." At stake were very valuable prizes purchased at Las Vegas' Chinatown.
Julene was our own Vanna White as she turned over pictures for the concentration game.
Grandma Kathleen and Grandpa Wendell were the fastest team to correctly identify all of the baby pictures.
