happy new years!

Last year we fell asleep before the countdown and the SAME thing happened this year . . .we must be getting old. lol. EVEN though we didn't countdown the seconds before the new year began doesn't mean we didn't celebrate the ending of 2008.

We started our celebrating at Provo Towne Centre's First Night. It was alright. I mean, it was fun. . .for about 5 minutes and then we were all complaining and yelling at Wayne who made us go. The target age of First Night is like 3 - 9 years old. If you aren't in this age bracket I wouldn't recommend it cause it is boooooring!. Still, we made do. Here are some of the highlights of the night . . .

the craft corner. fun stuff to make like these cute burger king crowns.


these balloons. sili and I waited like, 40 minutes in line to get these balloons. was it worth it? not really. Malia popped hers in about 5 minutes.


posing with Star War's characters. The scary thing is I think these people really dress like this on other days besides New Year's Eve.


The amazing show with amazing performers doing amazing things with hula hoops


Candy powder tubes and the eating contest where Wayne beat out all the 8 year olds for a lollipop. I was so proud.

The REAL HIGHLIGHT of course, was being able to kick it with the family. That made it all worth it.. . well, ALMOST worth it. lol.


After our downer trip to First Night we wizened up and decided to play Rockband the rest of the night. Love the game. Love the talented musicians we had with us.

Futi on the drums


Tina on guitar. Kalo, Megan and Kina cheered everyone on.


ME on vocals until SILI tried to steal the mike away. For some reason, they didn't want me singing anymore. I didn't get it. Go figure.

We cut the night short early cause we were tired and were in bed by 10:30. lol.
Oh well. . .
Happy New YEARS!!
