We welcomed 2012 at brother Jon's Annual Cocktail party at mom and dad's house. Our two good friends Heather and Paul joined us this year. There was lots of food, dancing, drinks, picture taking, oh and did i mention dancing! I have to say that is the highlight of the evening is that he borrows his friends DJ speakers and lights so the TV room turns in the Dance Party of 2012. He found an amazing New Years Eve Song that basically turned into about 20 people doing the Polka in the TV room. You couldn't even move around...basically just hop up and down....then someone yelled SWITCH and you turned around and started polka'ing with the next person. Granda did the jig... Me, Rissa, and Erin doing the air rock band to "Call me Al." Tasso doing the robot, announcements on the microphone, pretty women in their dresses and handsome men dressed up, pink panty droppers, dancing with the whine bottle sing Firework by Katy Perry or and let's not forget those 100 jellow shots that Rissa and Mandy made singing "shot, shots, shot, shot, shots.." There was the famous "Ball Drop" that is created by a huge exercise ball wrapped with Christmas Lights jimmy rigged with a string in the house for Jon to lower it outside the huge window as we count down. An amazing evening with friends and family and of course with the love of my life.
Check out Erin's blog who will have SEVERAL more pictures!!!!
Also to start off the New Year..Fred visited the groomers to help take care alot of his mats on his back. Since he is a "larger" kitty he cannot reach those areas. So he went to get all handsome for 2012. We decided to go with the "Lion Cut" basically everything is shaved but his head, tail, and bottom of the feet. BUT.....he didn't enjoy the blow dryer and the trimmers...so she had to "modify" his trim that went only half way! She did say that he loved the bath though! Poor Fred may look a little funny now, but i sure am glad those mats are gone and are not pulling at his skin. He's still sore in some spots that they were bad, but we hope if we stay on top of them, we can help him be more confortable....oh our "little" Mr. Fred Fred.
To highlight the end of 2011....here's to you Erin whose hair caught on fire at Aunt Cindy's on Christmas Eve, broke her middle toe New Year's Eve, thought her camera was stolen and after the whole family searched the house found it in the medicine cabinet above the fridge, then...new years day as our family celebrated our Christmas she took a huge chunk out of her tounge:) I hope that 2012 brings you better luck!
And Congratulations to our Cousin Angelica who got engaged to Sam on Christmas Eve!
Poor Fred. I guess that is expected when you are a long haired cat. Dance Party 2012 sounded like you all has a great time. Was nice that everyone knew when to say when! Sure is nice partying with responsible adults. Hope you all had a great New Year and many more to come.
