New Years Eve 2008

Goodbye to 2008 and Welcome to 2009

We celebrated New Years at the Leist home. They invited all the families who have relocated with James' company to Ohio for a Relocation New Years party. They had neighbors join the party too.

The neighbors all had accents! There was a couple from England. A couple from Ireland who had all of us join hands and sing to ring in the new year.

Mr. Steve and Mrs. Judy had fireworks for kids and they loved them.

Mrs. Judy was such a gracious host. She is out in the cold with Ariel.
The neighbor lady from Ireland was having fun too.

Clay and Ariel are cold, but having fun with the sparklers.

Ariel, Alexis and Clay make some noise!

Mrs. Judy has decorated her home so beautifully. We really enjoyed the home tour!

Kellie & Sherry warm up by the fire.

We enjoyed our evening with new friends, but had to call an old

friend in St. Louis after we rang in the new year. Ariel had to scream for Mr. John...the new

year just would not have been the same without her

screaming for him. ha ha

Wishing all of you a wonderful 2009.
