New Year's Eve

Otis and Erik couldn't wait until the ball dropped. They re-enacted what it was going to look like later in the night.

Don't drop me!

Then Otis drew what it was going to look like when the ball dropped on the Etch-A-Sketch for Carrie.

Double Trouble teaming up.

Eat it!

Sam and Amy F danced while Otis demonstrated his new floor boogie.

It wasn't even 9 p.m. and the party was raging.

Nothing says like a party like a dancing cowboy.

A serious cowboy means time to slow it down.

We thought the boys would fall asleep but they were still going strong at 10. At 11, they wanted some fried chicken.

A few people left but we had reinforcements. Look, it's Yu Bando! Mooney is not pictured.

The countdown to midnight. Sam could barely stay awake but he didn't want to miss out on the action.

Otis looked over to see if Sam was still awake.

Right before the ball dropped, Sam burst into tears. 2011 was a good year for him and he was sad to see it end. Either that or 2-year-olds shouldn't stay up so late.

Happy New Year!
