Goodbye 2011, Hello 2012!

2011 has come and gone! I can't believe it's already 2012. I remember in movies it would be "in the future, 2012" and there would be cars flying around and stuff like that. I guess we're a little behind haha. 

So we started New Years Eve off by going to a little place we like to call "Gecko", but it's actually called Moreno's. Gecko Grill closed down, but his brother has a place in Queen Creek that is very similar and they actually adopted a lot of Gecko's menu items. We love it! I wish it wasn't in Queen Creek, but it's still worth it!




After dinner, we headed out to Clint and Jodi's house, which is literally 30 seconds from Moreno's, for a midnight breakfast. Until then, we played games and hung out all evening. It was fun to just enjoy each other's company and relax for the last few hours of the year.





The wonderful host and hostess.


We rung in the new year with sparkling orange juice and sparklers. Kaydence loved the sparklers. She could have spend the rest of the night outside if she had a choice.

















Kaydence was out by 12:30am. I am suprised she even stuck it out that long. We ended up having a spend the night there at Clint and Jodi's and woke up at 11:30am! I was so mad I slept in that late. I don't think I've even slept that late when I was in high school. We were able to eat round two of the delicious breakfast and it was still amazing. Thanks Jodi and Clint for having us over!!
Happy 2012 to everyone! Hope you all had a good New Years!

I absolutely LOVE the sparklers making the numbers 2012. How did you do that? I have a really nice camera now, but I am still not as cool as you : (

Chandra said...

Yes Alissa we missed you guys! Too bad Jaxson wasn't a happy camper.

Thanks Andrea!

Susan, you have to use a slow shutter speed to capture motion. I don't remember my settings, but it was probably something like 500ISO (I could have gone a lot lower if I had my tripod or something steady), shutter maybe 3 seconds, and aperture 2.8.
