Throughout my life, my New Year's Eves have not been too exciting. I hate to admit it, but I think I only went to a party or a club maybe 3 or 4 times, total in my life. So, unlike some people who say that their New Year's Eves slow down when they have kids, mine have pretty much stayed the same! :)
Yesterday, we went to the Children's Museum with the Hrobars in the morning. We had a good time, but there were so many people there that it was hard to do much. I fought through a room filled with crazy moms and grumpy kids to help Adilyn and Kacy make a crazy party hat only to have Adilyn tell me in the end, "Mommy, it's for you, you wear it." So, I walked out with a silly hat made out of a brown paper sack holding a kid with nothing on her head...It was hilarious how the moms in there were trying to outdo each other. The kids were just sitting there while the moms made their hats for them. One of them wouldn't even let her daughter glue the paper she was decorating with because she was gluing it wrong. What fun is that for the kid?!? Adilyn's had a fish, a flower, blue ribbon, pink pieces of paper, and a couple randon sliver pieces. Just her style! Well, I guess I mean my style since she made it for me! :)
We all went home to let the little ones nap, then we made our way back over to their house for some sparklers and play time later that evening. Adilyn has always liked Mason and Wyatt, but until last night they have never really played together that well. Adilyn showed up in her pink "twirling" dress and her princess shoes, but she went right up to the boys' playroom and they all got along. They played from around 8pm until 11:30pm with no arguments, no fighting, and no crying! Adilyn was the mommy, and Mason and Wyatt were the daddies. As Dana said, "It must be a modern family." They were pretending that the baby doll was their baby, and they all thought it was funny when the baby had a poopy diaper. Kacy and Hudson still don't really play together, but Hudson did love trying on the princess shoes! We stayed until about 11:45, and we drove home and watched all the fireworks that people were popping. We were in the car at midnight, and we counted down while I held Kacy's hand in the backseat and Cory's in the front. Addy was already asleep...So a fun, but very low key New Year's Eve.
I always love the thought of the new year. I know that most resolutions are broken, but I still love the idea of having a new year and new beginnings. I hope that 2011 brings me more happy memories, joy in spending time with the people that I love, wisdom to make good decisions, and peace in knowing that I have everything that I have ever wanted (and more!)
Happy New Year!
