My kids hit a milestone last night. Actually seeing their first New Year roll in. Jason and I must be softening with old age. New Year's Eve day saw a bitter cold snow storm roll through, but our friends were able to get here last night for our annual celebration together. We ate, and the kids watched Back to the Future, danced, played and just had a great time.
Our guests left at 10:45, and as expected the kids asked if they could stay up. To my shock, Jason agreed. We all piled around the tv and we did our best to keep Alanya awake as we watched the minutes tick by. We took this video of the big moment. I just love Ben's excitement as he stands there with his hat and horn waiting for the infamous "ball to drop".
Much to my horror, Alanya still woke up at 6am. And by the time I rolled out of bed at 9:30, they had already watched Back to the Future II. I imagine we'll have kids collapsing around our feet somewhere near 3pm today. Happy New Year everyone!!
Editing this to add this photo of Alanya... I was off by three hours on when she'd crash!

How cute! My kids didn't stay up late at all, either did dh and I. I guess we just don't get into it yet. It could be fun when they are older, but right now the kids don't care so much. Glad you had fun.
