This year, we returned to Pasadena for a traditional New Years. We descended onto the corner of Oak Knoll & Colorado for a night full of marshmallow throwing, silly stringing and just good old fashioned family fun!
The kids had a blast throwing marshmallows at the cars. Christian wins the award for "Best Arm".
Shaney got to celebrate his 5th birthday on the street!
The Parade is sentimental for us. 15 years ago, Jeremy proposed to me on (about) this very spot!
Uncle Gavin being silly!
It's Midnight - HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Woo Hoo Lukey! The only one of my children that made it to midnight!
Some Happy New Year Love!
Time to get cozy for the long night. I bought this mask for Jeremy, thinking he would love it. But, he didn't. But it sure kept my face nice and warm while (trying) sleeping on the street. It was actually a quiet night night compared to years past. I think I got a whole 2 hours of sleep!
Good Morning 2011!
Cody got himself a rose!
Cali got some petals.
During the parade, there was the yummiest smell coming from the street corner. So, after the parade, Jeremy went over to the little vendor and got himself a delicious bacon-wrapped hot dog. He was so happy!
The best way to do the parade-the after party! We return to our parking lot and eat and play games and nap, while all the traffic heads out of Pasadena. We start home around 4 or 5 and miss all the hassle.
It was another successful year and so much fun! A great start to a new year. Here's hoping 2011 is a good one!
Happy New Year Wilson Family!!
