New Years Fun

We went to Dallas to ring in the New Year with my family.  My parents & all 3 of my brothers & their families were there, so it was a party!  We missed having my sister & her family though...maybe next year, right Beth?!! 

The cousins had a blast playing together. There were lots of games, including breaking in Grandpa & Grandma's new ping pong table.

We were all together to watch Tennessee's bowl game & had a lot of fun cheering on our Vols and eating Scott's fiery chicken sandwiches.

New Year's Eve we had a huge slumber party at Bob's house and partied the year away, again eating lots of great food & playing fun games together.

 The New Year dawned awfully early. After a great breakfast, the girls packed up and headed off to an adventure at the American Girl Doll store in downtown Dallas. It was the unveiling of the new 2011 doll and the store had lots of fun free activities to do. This was Hayley's first trip to the much anticipated store and she had a blast with her cousins. The boys stayed behind and played basketball, so it was a great morning for everyone!

On Sunday we all went to church together before having one last great dinner & everyone heading back home.  It was a great week of Bowman craziness!
