On we go to our New Year's Eve celebration! It's the one night of the year that our kids can stay up late on purpose. Although our late is probably much earlier than your late.
We ordered pizza from a very good pizza place. Although anything other than the freezer or the $5 pizza is very good pizza...
We got in our jammies (at 5:30 pm) and played a game of bowling. Thanks, Santa, for the Wii, which made staying up late both fun and entertaining! 
Then a stupid, I mean, stupendous, game of tennis. Some (one) of us really suck at tennis. Luckily we only have room for 4 players. So I sat and watched.
Then there was the treat table. Cause you can't ring in the new year without treats! Don't the Cheetos just look "glowy"?
We always bring in a mattress or 2 to have the kiddos lay out and maybe, just maybe, fall asleep at their regular bedtime. Whatever! We watched Fly Me To The Moon (Snore!) and Horton Hears A Who (Worth the $1 Redbox fee).
We (I should stop saying We and just say what it was...They) played Mario Kart in between movies. Ruthie had fallen asleep at regular bedtime. But the rousing race awoke the sleeping beauty. Sam got a bit frustrated. 8pm will do that to him.
Ruthie had a bit of a giggle fest after her snooze.
Getting sleepy there Isaac? Nope, I just like driving my race car lying down.
By the way, we celebrate with New York. If you notice the clock we are now on the official count down. My children will need serious therapy for correct time celebration when they're older. Thus the jumping on the mattresses! Sometimes a good jump can knock out any future need for therapy!
The noise makers to celebrate with...
Happy celebrant #1!
Happy celebrant #2!
Happy celebrant #3!
The boys were wearing matching jammies and they look a lot alike. Ruthie kept getting her boys confused. Maybe it was the jammies. Maybe it was all the junk food. Maybe it was the late night partying. I celebrated with Diet Root Beer. The whole 2 liters! I can do it cause there ain't no caffeine in it. (Click Here if that confused you)
This evening as I was preparing our glamorous meal of canned chili and boxed mac and cheese, Ruthie says, "What's shakin' mom?" The California girl in me stuck out my earthquake feelers. Nothin. Then she says, "What's the word?" Umm. Just quoting the Mayor on Horton. Hilarious. Bring on the new year! I'm ready for anything. Well. Not really anything. But something. I'm pretty sure of it. If something comes and I'm not ready for it, I'll blog about it. Cause that's what life is about. The Blog.
Happy Happy New Year!

FUN,FUN,FUN! Looks like how our night went. Happy New year, Jennie! :)
You have such a cute family and traditions.... when I'm a momma I want to be just like YOU!!!
Hey I am making for the second time your sloppy yummo Joes tomorrow!! LOVE IT!
I'm happy to know we aren't the only ones who celebrate with NY! 10pm is definately late enough to keep Mykah up! Happy New Year! Oh, so how is Mario Kart? That's one game I'd love to get.
Very good!
You are a super-fun mom, even if you didn't play the games. What a cool night for the kids! That's hilarious that Ruthie was quoting the movie. I didn't like "Fly me to the Moon" either, I think I read a book while Jake watched it. I guess that made it worth the $1 for me. Those were some great pics that you took! My sister does the 10pm New Years with her kids too. Shane and I always just go to sleep so you are more fun than us.
Very fun night! I should have done the earlier celebratory time a long time ago. IT's too late to switch now- the kids look forward to that one night they get to stay up until midnight!
If you could give more detailed information on some, I think it is even more perfect, and I need to obtain more information!
