We had a pretty low-key New Year's Eve with our typical hang out crowd of the families who live behind us (5 families...11 kids...it'll be sad when 3 of the families move this summer!) Definite evening plans weren't locked in until about 5:00 (it was undecided whether the dads were just going to get together for a bit...none of the moms seemed too eager knowing that New Years isn't really a kid-friendly holiday!) The kids and I were still in our pajamas and Leevi had to work on convincing me not to be a party pooper! ;)
Luke hung out with the big boys around the fire pit.
And crashed pretty early....he was a toasty lil bug and Leevi just kept him tucked tight all night knowing that he'd probably wake up if we tried to lay him down somewhere other than his crib!
The kids (and moms) started to fade around 10:30, so we said good night and headed home...the girls were set on stay up until midnight and by the time we got settled at home they had less than an hour to wait. Kailee started fading with literally 4 minutes to go and we had to snap her out of it! ;)
Luke stayed sound asleep and the four of us went outside to blow horns and look for fireworks!
By 12:04 we were back snuggled on the couch (poor Leila snuck up because she's terrified of fireworks!)
And by 12:06 they were O-U-T!
And a New Years video...the German countdown on t.v. was pretty funny!
