Don’t let my lack of pictures from New Years Eve indicate we didn’t we have a fun night. Actually just the opposite…we had a GREAT night! A group of us have gotten together with our kids for the past 5 years or so and although there are a few new faces and a few missing faces each year, the celebration remains the same. Until this year we had done ever NYE at our house. This year though the Belsingers insisted on hosting, and I saw no need to put up a fight! It was nice to just show up with a salad and a bottle of wine after spending the day running a few errands and relaxing at the house.
The kids were wild as usual and unfortunately the weather did not allow them to run off their energy outside. Instead I’m pretty sure they destroyed the upstairs of the Belsingers house. {Laura if my kids broke anything send me a bill!} There were a few tears, lots of screams and even more laughing…from the kids and the adults!
Coe and Frances tired out first, but after putting on Nick Jr in Mrs. Laura and Mr. Tosh’s bed they settled into a nice quiet trance. Until they managed to lock themselves in the bedroom {not to worry Tosh climbed through the window!} and then there was the moment when one of them broke the leg off a table {still not sure which one did that} and the NYE kiss…Bottom line they survived the evening. Not sure I can say the same for Laura’s bedroom {Laura, I guess you better send me that bill!}
Another break from tradition, was the hour of our departure. Generally kids start melting down and everyone leaves around 9, but this year found us dragging some pretty amped up kids in the house around 11pm. Oops! Here’s to ending 2013 with some great friends. I know 2014 will bring a lot more fun times with these same people!
*surprisingly none of us planned the matching t-shirts. All the kids just happened to show up in their favorite “Pensacola shirts” from Bluetique!
