ringing in the new year...like we used to.

I cant think of a better way to ring in 2009 than with my parents! They were able to come visit us this week, we have had such a great time with them! I'll have to do a big post on them when I have the time to get all my pictures together. I dont recall if as a young one, I stayed up until midnight, but I do remember my parents making a big deal out of it. at the "stroke of midnight" we would all bang pots and pans and make an awefull lot of noise. Why should it be any different with kids of our own? We celebrated the new year around 10:00 with a procession of lovely loud pot and pan clanking, put the kids to bed, and pooped out ourselves at 11:50. I couldnt even make it 10 minutes, gosh I'm old. Then on new years day we went sledding at my uncles house, they have an awesome hill and the kids just loved it! We had a really fun day. Happy new year everyone!!
