We first took the girls to dinner, it is always fun surprising them. They had all gotten dressed up for a night out on the town, and each fought to sit next to Dad at the table. I lost and my oldest won, she couldn't have been more happy.
After dinner we went and got everyone their favorite piece of candy and then went to a friend's house. They laughed most of the night and our youngest was so tired she crashed out in my arms. She made it until 10. The two oldest made it until 11:00 at which time we knew it was time for us all to go home and get some pjs on. They were so tired they couldn't make it until 12 am and crashed in bed around 11:45 pm.
They woke up talking about how much fun they had and that next year, they would make it until midnight. Once again it was just my hubby and I when the clock struck 12. While we sat on our couch, he kissed me and I thought there is no place in the world I would rather be than there with him in our home, snuggled on the couch together.
2010 was a little tough, but we made it and we are very happy, and very blessed. I am looking forward to a new year and I wish you all a beautiful New Year full of laughter and love.
