This year was the first year the kids were attempting to stay up until midnight.......It was hard for all of us....They watched several movies to help pass the time.....As you can see they almost didn't make it. These pictures were taken about 10:45pm.......
The time finally came to select the pots and pans for the ringing in of the New Year....A careful selection was made to make sure each one was loud enough.....Boy were they ever...it even scared the cat who went and hid under the bed!!! About 5 min before midnight Kammy started having second thoughts about causing a raucous in the neighborhood that late at night....she was so afraid someone was going to call the police on us.....Poor girl...she almost decided to stay inside, but we convinced her she wouldn't be hauled off to jail........
They had a great time making all that noise....Mike even let off some fire crackers and we whooped and hollered.....come to find out we weren't the noisiest one's in the neighborhood....Kammy was safe this year!!!We had the TV on also watching the Ball in NYC drop and the kids were amazed at how many ppl were there and how big that party is.....After all that was their first time to see the huge ball drop from the sky.....they had heard us talking about it but never really new what we meant and thought those ppl in NYC are crazy for dropping balls out of the sky at midnight!!
After all the excitement we went to bed.....no arguments tonight as it was WAY passed our bedtimes!!!!
We had so much fun with the kids this year....it's amazing how much fun they can be the older they get......
Happy New Year!!
