We rang in the New Year in the traditional Eagle Mtn way- game night! We had it at our house, playing wild card games with the adults upstairs and the kids doing their thing downstairs.
We had some of our best buddies: The Snidemans, the Clarks, and the Hortons!
At the stroke of midnight I kissed my hubby and then went downstairs to tell the kids Happy New Year. Lana was upstairs going strong but I found the boys passed out on the couch in the basement.
We decided to start a new family tradition this year of making a time capsule, we filled it with things from the past year and even let the kids pick a few of their things to put in it.
We filled out a questionaire about each person and added some actual things: the outfit we brought Torv home from the hospital in, the boys' medals from soccer, some tickets from the OMSI from our trip to Oregon and a few other things.
Next up was lunch time. Here are Brecken and Lana eating thier Millenium Falcon Star Wars sandwiches made from the sandwich cutters Uncle Mo and Aunt Ari gave them at Christmas.
Then we headed out for some sledding. This was the perfect year for sledding, we always had snow.
I think they were having fun...
Lana would beg to go down the hill with Daddy. After a few trips he asked her if she just wanted him to go down with her so that he would pull her back up the hill. She answered candidly, "Yes Daddy."
How many people can you fit on one sled?
Mom giving them a push.
We were definitely ready for some hot cocoa when we got back.
And the perfect end to a truly Happy New Year's Day- snuggling in bed with Dad watching Bugs Bunny (Lana was already passed out in her own bed so it was just the boys)
