We had a very laid back sort of New Year's Eve celebration. Ez went to work and Alexis went off to a Girl Scouts slumber party. We ate our favorite simple meal from Costco--orange chicken and rice, and then just played around for a while.
Evie and Joe were playing with mom's bread pans and were being rather noisy, so I sent them into the front room to use them. Joe decided they would make great "ice skates", and soon all the kids were having fun skating around!
Evie and Joe went to bed a bit after 8, but Lily and David wanted to stay up as late as they could. We watched the ball drop in NYC at 9:00 just in case we didn't make it. Mom was ready for bed before the kids were, and she took Lily into her room to watch TV around 11. David managed to stay up until midnight, but he was determined to do it since last year he fell asleep at about 11:45.

I think I am beginning to enjoy these "laid back" New Years plans. I guess it comes with being a parent, huh?
That's just as fun and real ice skating and cheaper too!
