New Years Bang!

New Years Eve for my family has always been to go to one of my grandmas and play games til all hours of the night, and that is exactly what we did! We Started our fun at 8 pm, and sat around eating and talking until about 10 pm. Then we started a game called Rummy, a game we have been playing since i remember even as a little girl! I lost the game but it was really fun. We took a short break to watch all the kids at Midnight grab their noise makers and go outside and scream and yell "HAPPY NEW YEARS" (which her neighbors have always hated us for). They finally got done around 15 after, and we got back to playing. About 1 am we were done with rummy and started playing a dice game called bupkiss( never have known how to spell it) I almost won that game but came in VERY close 2ND. We got done with that about 3:30 am. My kids actually stayed awake a long time! Brady was playing going up the stairs and when no one was looking tried to walk, not crawl down them! Fell hit his head and now has a black nose that's scraped, a carper burn on his forehead and a little black eye! But he finally gave in at like 2:30am. Makayla had so many little kids to run around and play with that she played until 3:45 ish and finally sat down and was out in less than 2 minutes! I got home about 4:15 am and didn't get to bed until 5 am. But am up now( still tired but didn't want to waste the day). I hope everyone had a great new years and will have a great 2009!
