Happy New Year!!!!!!

2011 is over and I am ever so grateful that we got to spend the final days of this past year with some of loved  ones on the Chaffin side.

We ended the year with a Murder Mystery Game we played at our place with Sarah and Casey acting as hosts. It was great fun. Never done one before, but I am very excited to do one again and get even more into it! 

 Sarah and Casey were P.I.'s

 BJ was a body guard from another country that was also an excellent skier, I was an FBI agent working under cover as a  a stewardess and love interest to a lawyer

 Grandpa Chaffin was the lawyer, Grandma Chaffin was a doctor and sister to the lawyer. GG was a young hoochi mamma who was also a double agent.

 Michelle worked with FBI and as a private investigator

 Michelle's hubby MG played a ski shop owner who dealt drugs on the side

 It was a wild and crazy night, but lots of fun!!!!!! The Chaffins are too fun to play games with! Especially Shelly! It was the best at how confused she got!

We also got a few extra special days with BJ's younger brother and his wife. We went out to dinner and my favorite stone fire pizza place where our kids could not get enough of each other!                                                                                

 

I think they love each other dearly!!!!!!

 Its so funny how things work out out in their own ways. Sarah and I were friends in high school and we had no idea we end up marrying brothers!!!! We went shopping one day and the sales clerk mentioned how nice it was to see sister in laws getting along so well. I agree. Love you Sarah!!!!!

 Hailey can't help but dance everywhere we go, I think she is going to be one of those Flash Dancers in the future!

 We also got to leave the little ones home one night and go bowling!

 We took Penny, she LOVES bowling! She had so much fun and it was sooo cute to watch her get into it

 I loved how she would sway the opposite direction the ball was going!

 We were also lucky to be able to have a girls night and a cousin sleepover!!!! The girls had lots of fun playing together!

 Bathing beauties!

 Unfortunately by the time New Years Eve rolled around we were all so tired we didn't even make it to midnight, but the girls got to toot their horns and throw confetti!

I am trying to welcome this new year with a very optimistic approach. BJ and I have some New Years Resolutions that we really would like to see accomplished in the months to come!

SO HAPPY 2012 TO YOU ALL! MAKE IT GOOD, POSITIVE, AND MEMORABLE!
