New Year's was quiet around our house. We had pizza and then we lost JR and JB to the bed around 8pm. So, B, Jbird and I brought out the good stuff.....

The boys were a little surprised when I told them to try a squirt.

Of course we probably ended up with more on the floor, but it was a party, so we had to have a little fun. Had a few other fun foods. Took the boys to the dollar store that day and let them each pick out something to snack on that night.

Not pictured was the Funyons and Bugles...I don't recommend eating either of them in large quantities while consuming large quantities of chocolate, all in the same evening.

We found a movie on Netflix. I got to pick it out - okay I did not give them a choice, I told them it was my movie or nothing. (I do have a good track record of picking out never heard of, funny, well liked kids movies). We watched some hilarious, slap-stick type humor movie about a summer camp. Never had even heard of it, but not too bad. We now have some family jokes from it all. Also had some great laughs...you know the laughing so hard that you lose control of bodily functions...yea, that would have been one of us - who remains unnamed but IS under the age of 18!

We finished off our night with this guy!

B somehow managed to stay up until about 11:15 but of course I was awake long after that with all the fireworks.

New Year's Day we went to a sledding party.

Here is JB all bundled up, going down with a friend.

Jbird was going to try the snowboard approach. He did not get very far though.

He started going down on his knees. I had several adults tell me what a natural he was and absolutely fearless.

The best part for me, was the huge bon fire!

All the partying is all over now...kids are already back to school. I must say, the break flew by. Usually I am ready for them to go back to school, but not this time around.
