Welcome to our wild and crazy New Year's celebration!
I always get my Christmas decor put up before New Year's Eve. Since we have a real tree, after I take off the ornaments, my husband and son get the tree out of the house. One year, 20 or so years ago, due to a work situation, my husband was unable to get the tree out before New Years, so I decorated the tree for New Years. It has now become a tradition to have at least one New Year's tree. My grandchildren love decorating the NY tree, because all you do is throw as much "stuff" on the tree as you can! New Year's decor can be tacky and crazy, because that's what New Years is all about. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!

I thought you were just resting up after all your Christmas entertaining and here you are at it again--you party animal you!! And you were entertaining such precious guests...and the puppy--what kind?? I think you had the best kind of New Years! Happy happy and healthy 2010 to you!
Happy New Year Laurie! Glad to see you rang in the new year in style. I think of anyone better to party with than grandkids and puppy! Your pictures and mosaics are so entertaining. --Delores

We,too, had our New Year's Eve celebration with our granddaughter (no puppy tho!). May just be the best New Year's I've ever had!!
In fact, this must be a secret you don't figure out until you actually are a Grandmother! All those years searching for the big New Year's Party with the best guy, the best dress, the best party, the best "high"....What a waste of time! Grandmas and Grandpas and grandkids are the very best it could ever be!! (Shhhh, don't tell anyone under 50!!)
Happy New Year!
Good to hear from you Laurie! Looks like you had a wonderful time ringing in the new year! We were watching a Christmas movie when the firecrackers started! Kissed each other and resumed the movie!!

Laurie, You took the words out of my mouth about not being able to visit and having an unplanned break. The holidays are so busy!
I love all your NYE decorations. Really love your vintage cards (I think I say that every new holiday, but it's true!) Your wild and crazy guests are just precious! :D Jewel
Glad you were just busy celebrating the holiday..
Your gkids are adorable..
A very quiet NYE here in the snow..cleared enough to get to a family reunion yesterday , and today, another storm!
Blessings in the new year!
What a great way to spend New Years! Your grands are adorable, and that puppy is precious! I love the New Year tree idea, how fun. Hope you have a wonderful New Year Laurie! Hugs, Kathy
Happy New Year! Looks like y'all had fun. I'm ready for some normalcy, aren't you?
Hi Laurie, Happy New Year! I've been the same way about blogging lately. I think after I get all of this Christmas stuff put away and Chase back in school I can get back to normal life again! I'm ready...the Holidays kept me really busy, as I'm sure all of us were. I hope you are having a great start to the new year! Kristen
looks like you had fun!!!
happy new years to you and yours!

I like your idea of celebrating the new year,Laurie! We caught the TCM Thin Man marathon. Fell asleep,woke up, fell asleep, woke up.....
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you and your family! Looks like you had the same kind of guests for New Year's Eve as I did. Only my Grands and I did not make it til midnight! :)

LoL, I smiled when I saw your floor picture. What a great post. We to had our granchildren and granddog for New Years Eve. Sadly, we were all in bed snoring by 10:30. We did tape Dick Clarks New Years Eve and for breakfast we watched the ball drop.
Yes --- we always suspected that you had a wild streak in you! I bet your grands have the most fun of all!
Laurie, looks like a lot of fun! Love the idea of a New Year's tree. Cute grands and beautiful note. Thank you! You know I feel the same. I'm at work on a post for Blue Monday and Mosaic Monday and Three or More Tuesday. Hope to have it up in a few hours. I'm sharing the thoughtful gift you sent me as a thank you. I hope you'll stop by later.
Been thinking about you during the holidays. I feel so blessed that we had time for lunch and a good visit when you came through town. Let's plan another one sometime in 2010!
Hugs ~ Sarah
Hey Sweet Laurie! A New Years Tree.....hmmm, what about a St. Patricks Tree? Yepper, some years it's been March before I've got my tree down. My Beloved just loves the lights and sometimes I can't get him to let me take it down earlier. :) Love your New Years decorations! You be blessed! ~CC Catherine
Oh how fun, Laurie! I am sure the grands had a blast. What a way to greet the Happy New Year!...Christine
That's a of New Year's decorations. I don't think I've ever seen so many New Year's decorations in one place. I particularly love that cup 'o kindness!
