New Years Eve

For New Years Eve/New Years, we went to Gilbert to spend time with the Palmer family. Derrick's mom had set up family pictures with a photographer on New Years Eve. I don't have any of those pictures but I do have some snapshots that were taken that day.

Here's a pic I took of Derrick and Scotty.

Derrick took this one of Scotty and I

These next pictures I had to steal from Derrick's brother Matt's blog. I just have to let you in on a little secret...............things turn a little goofy when Derrick's siblings all get together. There can never be a Palmer family get together without someone getting hit in the junk. Well, maybe not now but it used to be that way. This time, they settled for some funny pictures. Thanks Matt for your great photography skills!

Derrick and Nolan

Benny and Saleem

And even Scotty got in on the action.


And then One Grecian Urn. It's from the movie The Music Man (the old one.) Derrick and his brothers provided the urn while his sister Brianne flows out the top.

After family photos we all went and ate at Village Inn. That evening some of the boys were off doing their own thing so some of the girls went out to dinner at a yummy Italian restaurant. Of course, I have been terrible at taking pictures lately so I don't have any of our girls night. I also don't have any of the get together the next day at the Dababneh's (Derrick's sister's) house. The guys watched football and the girls talked, ate, and took the kids to the park. It was so good to see everyone.
