New Years Eve with the Barnett's

This year, we spent New Year's Eve at Sherri and Garlands playing poker. Fun Fun Fun!!

Of course, the girls walked away with the money. Sherri won the first game and I won the 2nd. The guys just thought they were better at those poker faces!

Sherri had a ton of Kameron & Koltons friends over and also invited her dad Joe and Uncle Bill. All the kids sat around and played Wii and then popped fireworks outside.

We had originally planned to spend New Years Eve with Ronnie & Mariland, but Triston was not feeling good. Turned out to be a nice night with friends and family. Looking forward to 2009!

Ronnie & Mariland's visit

This New Years Eve, I got a great surprise. My cousin Ronnie and his wife Mariland, came in from Maryland for a week visit. The weather was beautiful (in the 70's) while they were here and boy were they glad for that. It had been snowing when they left Baltimore.

Johnnie and I had them over for dinner and then we decided to all go out dancing at "Dalton's" in Conroe. We met up there with Johnnie's cousin Sherri and her husband Garland. Also, got to see a few of Johnnie's friends Louis and Jay. Later in the night, my sister Janice and her husband showed up and our cousin Linda. It was nice for us to be able to get together and see Ronnie and Mariland, whom we don't get to see often, because they live so far away!

Mariland is pregnant and due in March. How exciting!! Their 1st baby...and it's a BOY!!
