Best New Years Eve

This was the best way to end 2010! We had a party! Our friend, Debbie, was going to take the kids overnight so Bruce and I could go out and stay out late...but Carter got sick that day...bummer. At first it was disappointing changing our plans but it ended up being the best thing for us because we had the best, best, best night ever. It was so fun! I told the kids we were going to have a family party. We all got excited and the night started bursting with excitement. Everyone got to choose what they wanted to do:



Autumn chose decorations
Brookley (with help) choose Peek-a-Boo
Bruce chose to build a fort
I chose to do puzzles
Jonny choose to watch G-Force



So after some yummy Chinese food we played together the rest of the night. The best part was building the fort and then turning off all the lights and telling stories inside with a lantern. Bruce tells a great "Herman" story that makes us all laugh even though we have heard it a dozen times. We let the kids stay up as late as they wanted. It was so much fun that every month we are going to have our very own family party (aka: family fun night) again!
