New Year's Eve

Since before we had kids, which seems like forever ago, we have always tried to get together with other couples for New Year's Eve. It used to be a nice restaurant and then back to one of our houses for games to ring in the new year. Things have definitely changed now that we have kids - something easy to eat (kid friendly) at our house, watching the kids play, trying to play a game ourselves while keeping an eye on our kids, and then most not seeing the new year ring in.

Here's Mark enjoying New Year's - feeding his little one - boy how we have changed.

This year was pizza at our house but we did have chocolate fondue - that was something special! We hung around and chatted - of course watching football - and then tried to play a game - ESPN Scene It. Of course the guys mostly played and a few of us girls tried to answer every now and then.

We started out with 13 people but by midnight we were down to 6. Brody and Bradyn had a blast playing basketball until midnight. This was the latest Brody has ever been up and Bradyn's bedtime is around 8:00 so he was about to fall out by midnight. They did great though.

We bring in the New Year with great tasting Non Alcholic Sparkling Grape Juice - even Brody and Bradyn tried it.
