Good Bye 2008....Hello 2009!!

We ended 2008 with a bang......we met a group of friends for some great Chinese food and than walked over to church for the traditional New Years Eve service. We all rang the bell for good luck in the coming year. After church, it was off to the Sakata's house for some p-a-r-t-y! The house was full and the kids and adults were having a blast! Thanks to Kim and Marty for opening up their house once again for our annual party. The Kumamoto's finally left around 2:00AM and all the kids were still up! The next morning it was up and off to San Jose for my families annual New Years Day party....food, food and more food. It was a wonderful way to say good bye to 2008 and say hello to 2009!!
