We had so much fun ringing in the new year last night. My nieces, who are staying with my in-laws while their parents go to Russia to adopt another child, in-laws, and SIL all come over. We played games, watched Star Wars, had snacks and were outside at the stroke of midnight to ring in the new year. There must have been 20 kids outside! We had some fireworks and sparklers and our next door neighbor had fountains saved from the 4th of July. I sure hope no one in our neighborhood was trying to sleep! It seemed like almost all the nieghbors were out there. The twins had gone to sleep hours before and managed to sleep through all the noise. It was so much fun watching the kids run around with sparklers and streamers. We had a ton of party poppers and noise makers and horns too. We spent about 1/2 hour outside having fun before going back in to watch the end of Star Wars. It was after 1 am before we got the kids in bed.
