"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences."

Ringing in the New Year Frandsen/Foy Style!!!

I LOVE New Years Eve!! All the sights, sounds, colors, and excitement! Everyone all excited and looking forward to the new year with hope, new goals and dreams! =) This year we were lucky enough to spend New Years with Brad and Andrea, who we love ---We are so lucky to have such great friends and wish they lived closer!! We are so happy they were willing to make the trip and to brave New Years at Disneyland with us for a 2nd year (but this time being inside the park)! This year we were able to get into Disneyland right when we got there! We were expecting it to be insane, but it wasn't as bad as we were all prepared for! We went back and forth between the parks and got in 8 rides (only 2 were in California Adventure), about half the rides we walked right on and the longest we waited was about 30min! It was such a blast, and we got to ring in the new year in Disneyland by the castle! =)

Us on Finding Nemo (The flash and the sub light went on at the same time, so we look kinda sqintey) =)
Some lights and decor by the Castle


The DJ, who as we walked by welcomed us to 'Club Disneyland' =) There was SO much excitement there!! It was SO foggy and it made the lights look amazing! We loved it! Andrea and I couldn't get over all the lights and decorations around the castle!
All of us on Pirates--Yo ho! =)
Brad and Andrea at Midnight!
....and us! =)

' Tower of Terror (Fun)' We started calling it 'Tower of Fun' to ease Andreas worries about the ride! =)
Love this photo!

We went back to Disneyland at 1am and rode Thunder Mountain
Whoo Hoo!


...and 'Small World' which was all decked out for Christmas in side!
We had SUCH a blast and didn't get home until after 3am---We were all having too much fun and didn't want to leave (we were in the park after 2am)!! It was a perfect New Years Eve! Thank you again Brad and Andrea for braving the crowds and driving all that way from UT to spend New Years with us at Disneyland with us once again! We sure love you guys!!

Here is a little video of what the night was like: (I didn't edit it, so it's a bit random and choppy---and it transferred all pixelated---but it works!) =)....and yes, we did dance and party in the streets of Disneyland!! =)

We hope everyone had a fun and safe New Years Eve!! We wish you a wonderful 2009!! =) HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
