Bringing in 2013!

This year, like the last few we were planning  on Trekking to Lindon to spend New Years Eve with Jon and Sharlyn and there kids!  But we found out that morning that we had been so great and shared our Flu with them! After being cooped up in the house all of Christmas break this news was accepted with sadness and gnashing of teeth...........the kids were sad they couldn't go play as well!

So out of desperation, I tried to find something for just us to do without being bored all night! I turned to Pinterest and found a few ideas that I tailored to stuff we were planning to do already. The kids had a blast!!! It was so easy and the kids acted like I spent all day planning when in reality it was like 5 minutes!!
We had an envelope every hour from 5:00 pm till 12:00 midnight!!

5:00 Our note said to eat nachos and soda for dinner!!

6:00 Our note said to watch Happy New Year Charlie Brown that happened to be on Netflix!!

7:00 We wrote notes about of favorite things this year and what we want to work on in 2013.
I plan on keeping these and looking back on them next year to see if we accomplished what we wanted too. And to see if anyone's writing has gotten any better! :)

8:00 We had a WII Dance Party!!  Dad even got in on the  action... it may not of been pretty, but it was fun!

At this point We decided Berkley had as much fun as she could handle and the rest of her new years eve looked like this!



9:00 Ice cream sundaes and new shades!!




10:00 We played a new game we dug out of the closet that we had never opened


 This is also the point that Ryan and I started to fade, Ryan had worked at 5 am that morning and we were tired!! The kids were still going strong so Ryan Popped open an energy drink!


11:00 Fireworks and silly string!! Being a fair weather firework watcher I watched from the front window for this one! -1 is way to cold for me!!


12:00 We watched the ball drop,and had sparking cider to drink




The kids were exhausted and as soon as the new year came, they brushed there teeth and were asleep by 12:08!!

The kids had so much fun, they got along, played together and we liked it so much we will probably do it again next year.............at Jon and Sharlyns house of course! :)
