Starting off the New Year with the Family!



Danny's Uncle Jack & Aunt Carolyn Allen arranged a super fun family party on January 2nd to ring in 2009. We all got together at the Church Institute at Golden West College in Huntington Beach. We had such a great time with super yummy food and great entertainment!



There was fuseball


a pool table

and air hockey.


Jack & Carolyn also hired the balloon diva to come and thrill us with her terrific creations. She was seriously the best balloonist I've ever seen. she even made Danny a Star Trek Enterprise (failed to get a pic), so cool! If you need a balloonist call me! The kids LOVED it!







Santa even made an encore appearance!


But the best part was the company. We don't get together often enough!





Kierstin & Ann Marie (dad's get the shotguns ready!)



Danny's cousin Michelle and her husband Chuck are a great example to us. They have 4 amazing sons who have grown into wonderful men (2 have already gone on missions and are now married) and 2 wonderful young men!

Unfortunately, I wasn't as good with getting all the pics I wanted to. (my N.Y. resolution is to take more pics) but I did get this pic of those chatting in the pic.
We don't get to see you often enough. We wish you all a very wonderful 2009. thanks Jack & Carolyn for arrangeing the whole thing. We had so much fun!

What a fun day. Our family has had many a party at an institute. And how fun that they hired a balloon lady. I would have never thought to do that.

What a fun party.... and how nice to have it in the institute with all those nice game tables.

You have a wonderful family. I am glad that you could have such a nice time together.
