Happy New Year 2010

I guess we didn't start out the new year very well, because we didn't take any pictures. We had a great time bringing in the new year though. We made a bunch of finger foods. I love finger foods! The girls were excited because we told them they could eat ALL night long. We also let them stay up for the first time this year. We told them if they got grouchy they would have to go to bed. We have started a tradition of watching our family videos on New Year's Eve. We watched 4 hours worth of videos. We thought we would watch other movies and play games, but the girls had so much fun watching themselves on the t.v. that we just did that all night. We didn't finish watching all of them, so we pulled some more out on Sunday so they could watch the rest. It was fun to watch them grow up so fast on video. H started getting grouchy so she got sent off to bed. K made it to about 10 o'clock before she fell asleep. M and A made it all the way to midnight. We really didn't think they would so we did plan anything for the 12:00a.m. climax. Next year we will have some fireworks and stuff ready to go....or at least get out a few pots and pans. It was a fun evening with our family. What a great way to start out the new year.

  3. I like the home video idea, too. In fact, we did that this year. We completely missed midnight because we were too busy watching them!
