It's New Years Eve so let's burn down the house!

So, here are our ugly sweaters! I found these blue gems at Ross/TJMaxx and then we doctored them up! They were perfect! Off to the Francis' for a fun party with some of our friends and neighbors. This year, our kids came and hung out in the basement with the Francis' and Harwood's kids. Our ugly sweaters did get a good laugh! So, I guess it was worth the 3.5 hour trip to pick up the BYU patches!
Here are all the kids waiting for the fire! We were excited this year to have some of the neighbor kids join us! It was sooo cold!

After the party was over, it was back to our house to burn up the gingerbread house and a graham cracker Christmas train Amanda made at school!
A little lighter fluid to help things get going.....
It was soooo cold! Seriously! We huddled around the burning house and train once Mike got it going just to keep warm! Here is Taylor, Spencery, Brandon, Josh & Amanda!
Look at it go! This was so much better than last year's fire burning! We almost had a bonfire going! Our kids LOVE this new tradition! It's all they could talk about that day!
Grandma and Papa Arvy had given us a firework, so we added that to our pyro display! Then, Mason from across the street, brought out his one last firework and partied with us!
Who is that group that sings...."Fi-re" Anyway, it was a great way to ring in the New Year!

Oh my gosh...I started laughing and laughing at that picture of you and Mike in the BYU shirts before I even read what you had wrote! Hilarious! :)
