New Year's Eve!

We were all a little sick, and had been for the days

leading up to New Year's eve, so we decided to 

just celebrate with our little family. It was a lot

of fun!  First, we played lots of board games.

Silly girl! =)

Then, we played our Wii U. My parents and

brother Jeffery gave this to us for Christmas. =)

Then, we spent some time running around 

in the dark, while mom and dad hid and the kids

 had flashlights and wandered around looking for us. 

Then we would jump out and scare them. 

They LOVE that game. =)

Then, it was time to go outside and yell,

 "Happy New Year", and make some noise!

Oddessey absolutely loved that part! As you will

see in the pictures of her! =)

Lowynn, on the other hand, was mad we turned

the video game off. So, he was pouting. 

Derrick was joking that it was the first seconds

of the new year and Lowynn was already

being a brat! =)

Then, he just stood there and watched 

the firework show. We have some neighbors

who always spend some money on the fireworks.

It's fun for our kids to watch. =)

After we were all done outside, we went in and

enjoyed a bottle of Sparkling Cider.

2013 was a good year! We had a lot of fun going 

on trips and spending time as a family! I am looking

forward to another exciting year! I can't

wait for summer, when we welcome our new 

addition to our family! Bring on 2014!
