We made it to the new year. The boys were very excited since we were going to a friends house to party. I figured we would stay up til 10 and go home.. and everyone would be exhausted. However, we made it until midnight!! Yeah, I don't think I have done that in 6 years.
We watch the ball drop with Dick Clark at 11:00 p.m. and we celebrated with poppers, blow horns (never again- with Brandon) and hats. The boys got a bit excited after that. They had started running around and screaming so we had to do threaten we would leave and they all settled down and we ended up to midnight.
The five boys stayed downstairs most of the evening while we woman sat upstairs and chatted and the men played Rockband 2. The men eventually had to quit and let the boys play with the Rockband. A good thing Santa brings this toy for the entire family. We had a good time. We left at 12:05 pm and the streets were empty. It was eerie but we figured everyone was now officially celebrating the New Year. It was kind of nice to be the only vehicle out on the road, I felt safe.
So I was impressed we stayed up so late even though we celebrated early, we made it to midnight!! I think today will be a mellow day. The boys have had some colds and cough so we will be lazy. But isn't every holiday day like that?

You made it to a later time than we did. The kids watched the NY ball fall & then wanted to go to bed. Sam & I made it to 11.30 and then gave in!!!!!
