Our nieces and nephew, Becca, Missy, and Jonny came to spend New Years Eve with us. Rebecca had to work, so they couldn't start heading to our house until after 3:00pm. So, the kids spent the morning playing. Their friend, Sydney came over. They spent some time sledding in the backyard then they came in and got really involved in some make believe game. I wasn't paying close enough attention to figure out what was happening in their game. I know there was a bad guy, because a few times, they all had to yell and scream and run away from him. They had a lot of fun playing and it helped the time go by fast for them while we were waiting for their cousins to get here.
Becca and Roger were talking on the phone before they left and Becca said that she wished Crystal Hot springs was open. They thought it would be fun to go when it is soooo... cold outside. Roger called and found out that they were open. So we decided to meet at Crystal Hot springs. The kids and I were all ready to go and sitting in the living room waiting for Roger. I told the kids that this was the last time that we would be going to Crystal Hot springs this year. The looks on their faces were so sad. I started to laugh and their sad faces turned to confused faces. Then I explained that next year starts tomorrow. I am just too funny! Anyway, so we went to Crystal Hot springs and it was very cold and a lot of fun. The water was warm, but because of the extreme cold, the outer edges of the pool weren't as warm as we are used to.
We spent the rest of the night hanging out at our house. Parker and Roger, showed Jonny their new car game. They played that for a long time. Becca made us some drinks. She made margaritas, and some other normally alcoholic drinks that I can't think of the names. She, of course, made it with out the alcohol. I really didn't like two of the drinks. There was one of them that I enjoyed, I just really can't think of the names right now.
We turned on the TV 10 minutes before the new year and watched the ball drop. Then we ran to the door to bang pots and pans and yell "Happy New Year!" Some neighbors were lighting fireworks, so we spent a little time watching them through the windows.
These are the first pictures taken this year. I took them before we all decided to head to bed, around 1:00am. Parker rarely stays awake until midnight. I don't know if he's ever actually done it. He just gets way too tired. So, the first picture of Parker this year is a picture of him sleeping.
