New Year's Eve Party

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and Happy New Year! We kicked off the new year with a party at the Brister's hunting camp. Several friends got together for food, fellowship, and of course... LSU football.
Gracen and Peppy
Gracen enjoyed the Hershey kiss on top of her cookie.
She tried to share some with her new buddy, Emerson.Emerson's mama, Carey, gladly took a bite.Gracen and the other young-ins from church enjoying the gravel...who needs toys! We missed the get together last year because we were in Gatlinburg. But this year, we were back for the festivities. At this party, we not only enjoy each other's company, but we all look forward to the coming attraction...blowing up the Christmas tree. For those of you who have never tried this, it really is a site. They load the tree with firecrackers and a few bottle rockets (pointed away from the crown of course). Light it and boom, New Year's entertainment like nothing you've ever seen. The first year we tried this, a couple of the bottle rockets lost their minds and shot toward the crowd. It was quite a site seeing everyone "run for their lives".


The aftermath...we left at 10pm but, she was still a bit exhausted after such an exciting night.
