Scott had to work New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, so we stayed with Mom and Dad to celebrate. Mom informed me that they were invited to a neighborhood party....which cracks me up :) Their neighbor, Trudi, is a very social person and has brought the people on my parents street together, which I think is wonderful. Anyway, the kids and I were invited as well. We had Chinese food and shot off some fireworks...nothing big because the area down there is very dry, so aerial fireworks were banned. The kids ally enjoyed the Roman candles and the sparklers.
It started raining, and the kids got soaked, so we walked back to my parents' home at 8:30. I was impressed with my parents because they didn't get home till 9:30! :)
Grandma promised the kids they could stay up to see the ball drop in New York, thinking that they would fall asleep before then. The ball drops in Texas at 11pm because of the time difference. Ian fell asleep on the floor in front of the TV at 9:30. Payton....the girl that never seems to need as much sleep as I think should...stayed up to see the ball drop! She was so grateful. She said, 'Thank you letting me have this experience! It was awesome!'
Happy New Year!!!
