How was yours? We spent ours at home and for the first time ever, let the kids stay up. Not quite until midnight; they went to bed just after 11pm... but it was the latest any of them had stayed up in their lives!
Here's what we did:
Menu:
Dinner - pizza
Snacks throughout the evening - Cheetos, apple slices with caramel dip, potato chips with clam dip, pistachios, popcorn, cream soda. Yum!
Entertainment:
Shrek 2, on TV
Wall-E, on DVD
Playing with Juno (puppy)
Cleaning up spilled cream soda
(Who needs Ryan Seacrest with an entertainment line-up like that??)
We'll see how the kids' moods are tomorrow after an abbreviated night's sleep; they were certainly still perky when they went to bed! I thought surely at least one or two of them would fall asleep watching the movies. If they aren't too cranky tomorrow I'd like to make this a new tradition; it was fun and they were SO excited about staying up late.
I had grand ideas about a "2008 in review" post but it hasn't happened. To sum up: 2008 was a good year and Life was Happy.
Now here's to 2009!
