It's January 1, 2009! It doesn't seem any different except I slept in a little later than usual. We had a nice New Year's Eve bash last night. We played games, watched movies and had lots of treats...as it should be on the last day of the year.
Ethan was curious about New Years Eve.
Me: "We're having a party tonight. We get to eat lots of treats and stay up until midnight."
Ethan: "Well, what do you do at midnight?"
Me: "You get to yell "Happy New Year! because it's the first day of 2009."
Ethan: "That's dumb!"
Yeah, I guess it is kind of dumb, but we enjoy it anyway.
At 9:30 Ethan informed us that he wanted to take a rest! We got his mind off of "resting" by eating some treats. At about 10:00 he was eating slightly frozen cream puffs and told me that the cold was making him sleepy. Finally at 10:55 he gave in to his drifting and zonked out. Abby made it till 9:45 and Kaden finally went to sleep at 9:50.
Josh stayed up till 12 (if we would let him, he would stay up that late every night.) He banged on pots and pans and yelled Happy New Year outside and watched some of the fireworks from the window. I guess he had a good time. I was about ready to zonk myself by 12. Ryan wanted to start another movie at 11:00 and I said heck no! I'd be asleep before we even got through the previews! I'm not a night owl, nor am I a morning person. But I made it and had a nice evening!

Actually, we didn't even start our movie until after we did all the roman candles at midnight. We had been playing games up to that point. So we didn't finish the movie till 1:40 or so. I went right to bed, Bryan, Julianne and Brandon went to bed at 2:30. I think Rebekah stayed up till 3:00 reading. Bryan's night owl tendencies are manifesting in our children, unfortunately.
I'm not a night owl either, I guess I used to be when I was a teenager, but then I got married & had kids and all that went out the window. At least you all had a good time.
