Every New Year's Day since before I can remember
my mom's brothers and sisters have always gotten together for a family reunion.
I love visiting with my cousins and getting updates on all the latest,
holding the new babies, seeing all the vacation photos, and playing games....
and then there is the food!

Last year we played Pass the Pigs!
Yesterday these little cousins enjoyed playing together, I loved their shirts.
Someone walked by and we saw something come sailing high in the air
and plop right into his cup out of nowhere.
We all looked around ,kinds dumbfounded and then we heard laughing.
He reclaimed his toy, what a good aim he had!

Goodness... That is some wonderful looking food on your table!! And lots of it too!
How cool!!! We have Pass The Pig too...AAAAND.... we had almost all of those little animal family's back when my kids were young. Might even still have them all up in the attic somewhere. Ours never liked cups though, they pretty much lived on the floor or table. lol. Great idea for a family reunion on New Year's Eve. Happy New Year!!
:D
Happy new year Bethy! :) may you shine bright into our lives this year.
Sounds like a grand time and the toy in the glass is priceless for sure
Happy new year Beth
We've lost one of our pigs in our PassPigs game. I keep hoping we'll find it.
Sounds like a wonderful time!!
A load of fun! The little ones certainly make for suprises and smiles!
I love "pass the pigs". I'm grabbing a plate of that food from "last year" before I leave.... Happy New Year!
Sounds like a great way to celebrate the start of something new!
Beautiful.
Happy New Year Beth!

Good Afternoon and Happy New Year, Beth.
Children make the holidays so much more fun--especially Christmas and Halloween, but you have added Jan 1 to the list. Very funny about the little bear in the food. lol Kids are so much fun.
We have small get togethers. We eat out half the time. lol
Sure enjoyed this post and seeing all the love in your family.
