New Year's Eve at the Rosenbowers

I'm a little late getting these pictures up but, well, no real excuse I can think of. Anyway, here's our annual New Year's Eve Party and Fireworks Extravaganza.

All the kids start out with sparklers in the back yard.
A little dicey in dry times like it has been! No grass fires though.

Is this what they mean about the fog of war?


You could barely see 10 feet when all the kids got going.
I'm surprised my deck didn't catch fire.


Sonny with his Sparkler.

Now that's a goofy excited face!

Leave it to Holly to be outside hostessing in about 30 degrees in her sleeveless party finest.



All the kids out front for the big fireworks Holly got in San Antonio.

About 10 minutes after we had done the "Grand Finale", one of Dallas' finest went slowly by our driveway but didn't stop. Whew!

The evening's pyrotechnicians.

Just playing!

Christmas part II

A couple of days after Christmas Holly and the kids got to go down to San Antonio to visit the Jacobs for Christmas part 2!

Christmas Evening

On Christmas evening all the Rosenbower families came over as well as our good friends the Jordons for some more Christmas and some Rock Salt Prime Rib. MMMMMM!

The whole gang.


They all stayed calm for about 20 seconds and then all hell broke loose again.


Kasey & Gracie


Go ahead. Dare a kid to put his face into a pie. See what happens.

Christmas Morning

OK, Where do we start???


Cool! A yoyo! Dad, what's a yoyo?


Checkin' out the stocking loot.


Look what I got mom!


Woo Hoo! It's Christmas!
(and yes, that is darkness behind me)


Just tear a little bit here and it should open.


Wow is that some great morning hair or what???
