old fogies on new yrs

Because I have been sick, I haven't been on for a little bit. But I am feeling better now, and can write about my new year! With kids, there isn't too much you can do, or too many places you can go. At least, nothing we know of. Lindsey and Hemi are in the same boat as us, so we went out to my parents to hang out with them. We first went to dinner at the Mayan restaurant. We heard from others that the Mayan wasn't too good. But we wanted to try it for ourselves. We all really liked it. No complaints here. Well maybe 2 complaints. They had a small menu, not too much to choose from, and they are kinda pricey. But other then that we liked the food, entertainment, and it looks really cool in the restaurant. The girls loved it!
Our next plan was to head over to my parents for food, fun and games. Well we were too full from dinner to eat, and to tired to play games. We tried one game and got bored, then played another, and we were too tired to finish. Plus with 4 little kids, it was hard enough.
we all were counting the hours and minutes for midnight, so we could hit the hay! My parents haven't gone out for New yrs for I would say 10 yrs. So they were there with us, also trying to stay up. For my dad to stay up that late, is almost impossible. My dad couldn't take it any longer and went to bed at 11:30!!!! My opinion is, if you have stayed up until 11:30, just go all the way to 12. But not my dad, he always goes to bed at 11:30 on new yrs(Don't know why) .But my mom went up stairs and talked him into coming back down. More like lectured him, and called him a party pooper. so at 11:50 he came back down. So once 12 hit, we toasted, kissed and ran for our beds! Are we old fogies, or what?? Well the next night we made up for it. we ate goodies, rented a movie, played games and stayed up past 12. Well not every one. my parents didn't and Lindsey didn't make it. But it ended up being really fun! The 2 pictures below this is Hannah and Abbey at the Mayan.
