It has been a tradition that I cannot stay awake on New Year's Eve -- normally not even to the ball drop at 11 p.m. This year was different. We had a party at our house with 6 other families from the neighborhood. Kids were invited. It turned out really well and we had a great time. The adults divided up into teams and we had 3 rounds of game playing (Julie B, Geoff, and Myself were the winning team - YAHOO). We played Pictureka, Wii Bowling, Catchphrase, Wii Wack-A-Mole, and Wii Darts. It was a lot of fun. At about 8:30 we did a New Year's Countdown for the kids with a balloon drop, sparking juice, hats, horns, and more. Then we went outside for fireworks. The kids finally settled in for a movie a little after 10 p.m. in three different rooms. Austin was the first to fall asleep around 11 p.m. but all other kids were up to countdown with us at midnight!!! It was probably one of the most fun parties we have thrown in a long, long time.
