New Year's Eve

Every New Year's Eve, we stay home. About 4 years ago the girls have been joining us. Emma Derek and I love it! (Get over it Jesse!!) I think we all have a lot of fun, even Jesse but he won't ever admit it! Mom Ho (my mom) comes over too. It depends on the crazy level on how long she stays.

This year we pretty much played Wii the whole time - 2pm-midnight!!!!

Here's Landry and Jesse. Let the fighting begin! No matter how long they've been getting along, Jesse reverts and does not have a nice bone in his body towards Landry on New Year's Eve. Poor Landry :-( I think it's because she stole his thunder. He had the grandparents all alone for 5 years. He just hasn't been able to let it go!

I had been saving the Creative Kids cookie dough from the school fundraiser. We also played with play dough at the same time but were careful not to confuse the two!

So I hear, "Emma, I have to go to the bathroom do you want to come with me?" I was hoping this would happen and that the whole going in the potty would rub off on Emma. After a while, I checked in to find this:

This Sassy lady is Mom Ho's Wii Mii. She really got into the bowling but couldn't beat Derek #1. Sophie is #3 and Landry is #4.

So here I guess Derek must have done something good and Landry is in her own world.


And here they are with their cups of sparkling grape juice at midnight followed by the Amish Acres fireworks. The flash is just my camera but there were fireworks and they were pretty cool this year!

That's it. We'll be resting the rest of the week/weekend!! I apologize in advance for the teachers who get these children on Monday!
