Oh, What A Night....

Talk about ringing in the New Year in style, the Barker kids were without a doubt the cutest revelers in Asheville. As part of our tradition, each kiddo dresses up in a party outfit and this year was their most fashionable to date. Actually, all of the adult Barkers cleaned up pretty well, too. Just judge for yourself.....

MaMa Anne and Papa Ed with all the grandkids.

Miss Chapel putting on her best party face.

I was the last to get ready so we snapped this one as we were on our way out to dinner.

Got dad to join in for the group photo.

Jude was so proud of his little outfit and let me tell you, he turned heads EVERY where he went. He was very serious and kept stopping and asking me to take his picture.

And once Conor noticed Jude asking to have his picture taken, Miss Sugar & Spice was not far behind.

Ah, the sleigh. Lots of play time here.

Ed enjoying the party in the Great Hall.

Anne watching the band and taking in all the party goers.

And can you guess which two of my four managed to make it all the way until the midnight hour????

Here is one.....

And the other? None other than little Jude. He was not going to miss a minute of the action.

He even sipped a big Shirley Temple to celebrate.

Happy New Year. Hope 2011 brings you all wonderful happiness.
