This year we were excited to spend the last hours of 2010 as just a family. Both girls napped until 5:00 so they were all revved up! We attended the Old Year's Eve service at our church and then came home to party. A table full of fun snacks and a family movie made the night special. Around 11:00 we started playing some Wii and then we watched a time-delayed ball drop at midnight. The girls did great the whole time and certainly celebrated not just the new year, but the hours past bedtime they were allowed to stay up!
At one point, the girls trooped outside to see "what the middle of the night looks like." Not counting infancy or red eye flights, this was the latest they've ever stayed up! Toasts, kisses, silly hats and a lot of racket with the play instruments were seen and heard as the clock struck 12:00. And our new year started off just right when everyone slept until 9:00 the following morning. We really do have a good time together, just the four of us. It was a perfect way to ring in 2011.
