New Years Eve 2010!

Na'im (not sure if he can make it 'til midnight), Tanshea and Aiden..What time is it?

Amir and Mommie (Amir is thinking how much longer must I pose and miss all the fun I'm having playing)

Strike a pose. Micah what is wrong with your head? Andersen doing funny eyes in the background.

This is Anderesen at midnight, Hello 2010.

These two are very handsome boys Aiden age 2 and Dad...age...well, maybe he's a man now.

Kristen and Benjy along with that beautiful Aiden.



The Gang's all here...plus 2 more (nephews). It's the Madyun 11 tonight...hmmm I like the sound of that.

I am so cold, I can only think "this is why we stay inside the house in the winter." However, the kids had a great time and I am very happy we were able to do it....THIS ONCE :)

Oh to be 14 again. I wouldn't do it, but Marcus who is 14 opted to stay and hang with the fam instead of going to a dance.. Is he sweet or what..

Maxien ready to start the fun of the Celebrating the health and love we received in 2009 and welcome 2010.

Tyler loved the sledding and having his family around.

Micah all bundled up trying to stay warm. He was the 1st person to come in after Andersen and I did. He and cold weather don't agree...he gets frost bite in a pool.

Amir is always all smiles...wow, it's hard to believe he's only 7 sometimes.

Andersen age 3 and Mom. Our last picture before we went to defrost.

Can you believe most of the Madyun9 have been born in MN and the rest have been here so long it almost makes no sense to call anywhere else home. However, sledding and skiing we have never done.

Micah,Maxien,Devin and Tyler.

Andersen braving the cold as best he can. Thank goodness for me he was ready to leave after his 1st run down the hill. Amir is just getting ready to leave on a fresh run down the hill.

Well to ring in the New Year we were invited to a sledding party. I really wanted to sled down the hill, but by the time we got there it was too cold for even my camera. I think it actually yelled at me in Kodak language. Marcus,Morgan and Aiden stayed in the warm house while the rest of us braved the weather.

So, our sledding team consisted of.. Na'im, Tanshea, Morgan, Micah, Amir, Maxien Andersen and 2 cousins/nephews... Tyler and Devin. Lucky for me..Andersen was ready to leave after sledding down the hill only once. YAH!!! inside to eat we goooooo.. The rest stayed out to enjoy the snow and ice of it all.

This was one of the best New Years Parties I have been too. The Seamans threw this ball which included 4 or 5 other families. There was lots of game playing, dancing, eating, laughing, picture taking and merriment.

The kids played Wii and boy did they have fun with the dancing game. Some of us adults joined in that fun also. You should've seen the dance to the Eye of the Tiger.

Ten minutes from the New Year, we turned on the T.V. and counted down to 12 am Jan 01, 2010.

Happy New Year!

and of course

Mad Love, Til Later... The Madyun 9.
