New Year's Eve

We decided to ring in the New Year up in Hooper with my family. All my brothers and their families came, so it was a swinging party. There was wayyyyy too much delicious food. And Papa Kerry made up some really fun games for the kids to play early in the evening including Snowman Races, Snowball Toss, and The Ice Relay. The kids had a blast, and it was great because all the little ones could participate too.

Adelia and Ollie and Rue were struggling, so I put them to bed at normal bedtime. I was planning on letting Lincoln and Ivan try staying up all the way to midnight. They played Apples to Apples with everyone really well until about 10:30 and then they started getting overly silly and grouchy and out of control. So I put them to bed. The adults hung out and just sort of chatted. Jackson and Tanner had to go to bed early because they had work in the morning. We made it midnight, but just barely. (Why is that so hard now-a-days?) And then we went to bed as well. Happy New Year!
