New Years

Kimberly came to town a couple days after Christmas to hang out with us. It was a lot of fun to have her in town. We spent time shopping, watching movies, playing addictive Facebook games (Treasure Madness and Bejeweled), and enjoying being around family.


For New Years Eve we went to Medieval Times. They had a special late show which included their regular dinner/show and then they'd have a party afterward so it sounded like a lot of fun. Plus I figured if the show was going to go up until 11:45 pm then at least I'd have something to keep me entertained and enable me to stay up until midnight. :)

I thought that it would end up being cheesy and no one would be there but I was wrong. There was a TON of people there and they put on a great event.



Dinner, in true Medieval fashion, didn't include silverware so that was fun. And then during the show we were in the Blue Knight's section so we cheered heartily for him as he competed in various events. It was fun and engaging plus he was the cutest knight so it wasn't hard to root for him. Poor Kimberly was struggling to breath due to the horses so I felt bad.




Once we left the arena when the show was over and went where they had a dance floor set up Kimberly was able to breath again and didn't look like she was going to die on us. :) After that we huge out and dance until it was time for the countdown. It was a true New Years Eve celebration complete with noise makers, hats, beads, a balloon drop at midnight, confetti canons, and a DJ. We danced and showed the masses the great moves we had learned thanks to the Wii game "Just Dance". It was certainly the funnest New Years Eve I can remember in a long time.

















(Please ignore my orange Oompa Loompa face. I had tried some self-tanner so that I would be scary white in my sleeveless dress for Katherine's wedding. Clearly it wasn't the naturally sun-kissed look I was going for. Did you know that Oompa Loompa was a nickname I had in high school? True story. Too bad I didn't have the self tanner back then, I could have made a great halloween costume out of it.)
This is the first post where 100% of the pictures were taken with my new camera. Aren't they so nice, clear, and colorful???
