new years eve

we kissed these little hunkys goodnight one last time in 2011.  

NYE turned out to be one of our favorites.  we were back and forth on if we were going to be able to make it between all the sickness and finding a sitter, but in the end we were well and my parents party was canceled due to sickness.  so at 6:30pm on the 31st we were in!  my WONDERFUL DAD(my mom was down with the flu.  i am telling you, it took us all out!) watched our boys as we headed over to the dassos for an around the world new years eve themed party(thank you, karen and amanda!).  every couple brought a bottle of wine, an appetizer and beer from their chosen country. 

next to each bottle and appetizer was a list of facts about that country.  we were given the heads up that there would be a contest and we should pay attention to the details.  i put stew on that since he has a ridiculously amazing memory!

after the cheese fondue part of dinner we were given this sheet to fill out.  i was kinda hoping for multiple choice, but hey, we still came in second!  go team!

 team huffman and don't let that #1 lead you to believe they came in first. ;)

and this is where the night really took off!  the chocolate fountain was borrowed and so it was a learning process.  the men put themselves in charge of making this happen and in the end it worked out great!  i am not sure if milk is the proper addition to the recipe, but matt was certain it would work and it turns out he was right!  i would also add that this whole ordeal was hysterical.  

success.

we decided to get a group shot right before the countdown.  thanks for the photography, paige!  

happy new year!

i might have taken a sip of champagne instead of kissing my leading man at the stroke of midnight, but better late than never.
