This year, we let all four of the kids stay up to ring in 2011.
Jon and I had a running bet about how long Baby J. would make it.
He surprised us both by staying awake the whole time!
He LOVES to do just what the big kids are doing.
Each hour, we gave the kids a small gift to open as they
counted down to midnight. Nothing big, just little activities
that they could do on their own, or we could do together with them.
It really was a lot of fun.
Jon and I couldn't help but think about New Year's Eve ten years ago.
We celebrated together in Niagara Falls. We watched fireworks, explored
the shops and exhibits, and just enjoyed each others company.
This year, surrounded by four squealing children, poppers,
confetti, noise makers, and more confetti, we rang in
the New Year with the four greatest blessings in our lives.
Happy New Year, from our family to yours.
