New Years Eve

We have our Birchell family Christmas party on New Year's Eve. It is one crazy night with all of us in one house, and all the kids being so excited for Christmas and New Year's all at once. We started the night with a potato bar, then we took family pictures, opened present, made AWESOME snowflakes (thanks Good Day Utah), visited with one another, brought in the New Year (Eastern Time) with bubble wrap, and ended the night with our own fireworks. We had so much fun and again are so grateful for everything everyone gave us. 
Brilee cheesing it before we left for the party. Granny and Donny made the chair Brilee is in, and she LOVES climbing in and out of it all day long.
Before the party some of Brilee's cousins got to come play with her while I baked pies. She LOVED having them at her house.
Ready to PaRtY! (Brilee is pulling Elly's hair in this picture, and Elly is still trying to be happy in the picture. They crack me up!)
BreAnna is an AWESOME baby-sitter.
Brilee was just like one of the girls last night. As soon as we walked in the house the girls took her downstairs and she just played with them. I knew she was in good hands!
All the grand kids... (to bad the picture is already out dated!)
The wild boys!
The sweet girls.
The whole family.
Brilee and Cy's first Christmas party together! 
Poor Tytan had to wait A LONG time to open his present from Brilee. You can see how well he waited... at least he was sneaky about opening it early. 
Granny makes all the grandkids PJ's every year for Christmas. It is so much work for her to do this, and we all love it. Here are the girls in the Horse PJ's.
Mylee and Leeber got fleece monkeys.
Megan and BreAnna got matching PJ's.
The little girls in their PJ's. They were all so proud of them.
All the girls ready for bed...
The cool snowflakes they made.
Getting ready for the countdown to 2010.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Brilee decided to snuggle up and let Angie put her to sleep RIGHT when the ball started dropping.
Craziness!
The boys lighting their fire works. It was -5 degrees outside and Jake and Kevin were outside for about a hour with no coats. Jake didn't have his shoes on either. BURR!!!!
