New Year's Eve

Wednesday, December 31, 2014

 For New Year’s Eve night we went to a friend’s house who was having a pizza party, and brought some of our favorite toppings. It was a lot of fun and we got to try a few different kinds of pizza, including one that had cranberry sauce, chicken, and cream cheese, which turned out to be really good.

 They had something for the kids to do each hour. Ryan and Jared’s absolute favorite, for obvious reasons, was a nurf gun battle out in the backyard. Jared just had to have a turn with this big turret-like gun.

 We didn’t want to have cranky kids the next day, like last year, so we headed home at about nine and put Karl to bed. After that we went out front with Jared and lit a bunch of small fireworks we had gotten. Ryan had picked out some “Halo” tanks that Jared really liked.

 We also had fun dancing with the sparkers and showing Jared how he could write his name or his alphabet letters. Jared loved getting to do throw some of the snappers too.

 As usual with holidays we could count on our neighbors to have aerial fireworks going throughout the evening. We barely made it to staying up ‘til midnight, but we did! It was a fun last night of the year!
