Happy New Year's Eve!

Here's how the Coe's finished off 2010!

Abbie & Torra attended a Multi-Stake New Year's Eve Youth Dance

with 700 of their closest friends!

(a 'stake' is made up of several wards or congregations in an area; 

and four stakes were involved in this event, hence the attendance of 700)

The theme was 80's -- can you tell?

Sue was involved in putting this event on, 

so my day/evening was spent decorating, chaperoning & cleaning up

which was amazingly easy considering the numbers.

What a bunch of fun, energetic & well-behaved teenagers!

It was especially fun for me when Abbie & various friends

would stop & say hi when we ran into each other throughout the evening :-) 

Kenzie was feeling like a craft,

so she had a couple friends over 

& made these darling little 'hamburger & fries' cookies 

to take to a friend's house for a little celebrating!

They turned out so cute . . . and tasty!

I SO WISH I had snapped a photo of what I found 

when I arrived home from the dance at 1 a.m!

But I didn't.

Porter & Dave (& Jake) passed out on the couch 

while Darth Vader's Light Sabers swiped around on the TV.  

They had enjoyed a chinese dinner together &

polished off a bottle of Martinelli's in our 'fine' crystal 

while watching several episodes of Star Wars.

Doesn't get any better than that.

Bring on 2011 :-)
