Happy New Year!

On Tuesday, we hosted the "Local Alexanders:" for a Post-Christmas luncheon/Chris's birthday. In attendance were: Tyler, Matt, Aimee, Mary, Jacob, Martha, Chris, Eliza, Addy and Alexandra. It was a busy afternoon, so I only snapped a couple of shots:
Here's Elijah, hanging out with his big cousin Jacob:
On New Year's Eve, we continued our tradition of spending it at Heather and Jason's house. Over the years, it has evolved to include more children than adults! There was a kind of a rock-band theme, which is why you might see some crazy hair-dos in the following photographs:

After eating, the guys set up the Wii to play some "Rock Band."
Meanwhile, far from the "rock Band" scene:
My BFF Heather!
The little kids start warming up.
Elijah was on drums, Brady (aka Billy Idol) was a back-up singer/dancer:
Finally, the old men step in to form their own band.
They were pretty good!
Winding down at the end of the night, watching "Karate Kid."A New Year's kiss!
Happy New Year everyone! Weather permitting, we'll head off to the big Alexander gathering in Glover tomorrow morning!

Aw, is that a coon hound Elijah is kissing? What a nice dog. Looks like you had a nice Alexander gathering (love your "porch") and a really fun New Year's Eve. Hope to see you soon, depending on the weather...

Great pictures! Is Brady the same age as Elijah? He's awfully cute! Your house looks different from what I remember?

Sandy, you and Ed look like you were having way too much fun on New Years Eve! Was Edwin singing a CCC song or Johnny Cash? Thanks for the wonderful Alexander gathering and feast in your lovely porch! Elijah could be the next Ringo!!

Mart: I'm pretty sure it was Roy Orbison!

I had heard what a nice "local" Alexander Christmas gathering you had that Tuesday after Christmas. It was fun to see the pictures.

I also heard what a scrumptious meal you prepared Sandy! What a lot of work for you!

Glad to hear that Elijah is feeling better. We missed seeing all three of you in Glover Saturday, but thought of you often
