NYE

Historically, we have tried everything on NYE – the dressy night out, the hotel package, the night out with friends, and I feel like every year, we end up spending too much money for a mediocre night…  This year, we decided to have 2 of our favorite families over for some family-friendly fun, and we have not stopped talking about it since! 

The Schoppes and Almans arrived after nap time on NYE – we lucked out with the weather, so we all had a chance to catch up while the kids played outside.  The Schoppes brought the Disney version of the game “Headbandz” – clearly intended for the kiddos to play… but… since they were having a blast upstairs, the adults decided to give it a shot.  And oh my gosh, it was SO. MUCH. FUN.  We played for HOURS (probably because the drinks were flowing!). Just before midnight, the kids “popped” a few fireworks and then headed back inside for adults (and kids this time!) to play Just Dance for the Wii.  We played until we all wanted to pass out – and pass out we all did.  I can’t believe my kids were up until 11:30 (and were surprisingly great the next day…???)!

Here’s to a new annual tradition!
