We spent New Years Eve at my parents. Since our oven wasn’t working, we’d asked them if we could bring out dinner and snacks and spend the evening with them. They agreed and then Rachel and Cub decided to join us. We had Chinese food for dinner and it was delicious! We then played a bunch of different games while the kids played together.
When it got time for the kids to go to bed, Grandma let them all snuggle up in her bed. The kids thought it was hilarious and managed to stay still for about two minutes before they were jumping up and off the bed. They eventually went to sleep and we continued playing games and snacking.
Laura (Rachel & Cub’s exchange student from Spain) wanted to do a Spanish custom. Apparently the 12 seconds before midnight you try to put 12 grapes into your mouth… We were party poopers and didn’t want to stay up until midnight, so at 12 seconds before 10:00 we attempted it. Cub made it! None of the rest of us did though… it made for some entertaining pictures!
We finally decided to call it a night around 10:30. We were going to load the kids up, but mom encouraged us to leave them there for the night and come get them in the morning. We didn’t have to be convinced… we knew they would be very sad if they woke up at our house instead of grandma and grandpa’s. We made it to bed by 11:00… Happy New Year!
