New Year's Eve Fun with Friends

As has become tradition for us, we host a computer gaming party on New Year's Eve. We usually play some old LAN style first person shooter game.

Last night - Unreal Tournament.

First, a family photo before Thomas retired for the evening:

We always seem to remember to take the family photo right before bed time - note the blanket Thomas is holding as well as the sleepy look.

Then on to the fun:

Most of the group of gamers

This is what we played - Unreal Tournament

"Grendeleater"

More gaming action

"General Electric" taking a break

Anya waiting and hoping a few crumbs will fall - she gets to come out to play once Thomas retires to bed.

"Ned Flanders"

Thank you to all our friends who participated in this annual tradition. As always, we had a great time and value your friendships.

Happy New Year! Wishing you all success and happiness in 2009!
