New Year's Eve Gapen Style

We spent New Year's Eve at Chris & Erin Gapen's house this year and had so much fun. They live really close to our house, so it was perfect! It was very casual & laid back which was great! Erin made sure it was centered around the kids this year. We had hamburgers, hotdogs, smores, fireworks, and a bonfire. Ella LOVED the fireworks!

that were on someone else's plate


She liked playing with Reed's MSU helmet

watching the fireworks...sort of





It was really cold, so Eddie gave the kids a show
while they watched from inside.














Reed was so good about sharing his toys with Ella.
Thanks, Reed!








Nick was so proud of his fireworks :)

Ella is precious... I think she was in heaven with all of the cheese puffs on the table! We had a lot of fun with everyone!

FYI... Eddie loved Nick's fireworks, as well; he said they were awesome.

We had a wonderful time with you guys. Ella is a doll. Reed still points to her picture and says "There's Ella!" I think he has a little crush!

Chris has told everyone about Nick's fireworks! He was very impressed and said that's what we are doing next year!

We'll have to get together soon!
