We rang in the New Year as a family this year. We spent NYE at a friend’s house with his family and had dinner and watched some bowl games. On our way home about 10 pm the boys mentioned they’d never celebrated NYE before, I couldn’t believe it, so I showed them what NYE was all about (I’ve always celebrated with the girls, even when they were tiny babies). We got home and all changed into PJs, then watched 9 to stay awake (boring movie – I fell asleep). The movie ended at about 11:50 and we switched the tv over to one of the NYE celebrations to watch the ball drop. I poured Sparkling White Grape Juice for everyone (even Mr. S and I) and we did the countdown together. After all the kissing and hugging – we were in bed by 12:05.
