It is New Year's Eve. Christmas is over. The tree is down and the house is returning to a somewhat normal state (as normal as things get around here). This New Year's Eve will be spent at home relaxing and watching the snow along with a movie or two with all of our little people. Another advantage of large family life is that we are our own party (never a dull moment). Bentley got Princess Bride for Christmas and I have a feeling that everyone will love it. We took a family trip to the store to buy all those fun snacks and appetizers that the rest of the year are off limits (even for mommy and daddy). We pre-ordered wings online for daddy at Pizza Hut, a coveted treat. Mommy was too lazy to make the mess of wings from scratch. The babies tired bodies will fall asleep in the middle of our fun and being at home makes it easy for them to go to bed. The older kids will pull out the sleeping bags and build forts in the basement with doors strategically placed so that they can watch t.v. until exhaustion overtakes them. In reality no one will probably be awake long enough to ring in the New Year. Monte and I are getting too old to care and the babies think sleeping in is overrated so they will be up early. The New Year will still be here tomorrow and we can celebrate then with Yummy New Year's Cookies, and yes dad we will be over with some. Hope you all have a wonderful evening and a Happy New Year!!
