I can't believe 2014 is OVER - where did it go?
I rolled out of this morning feeling pretty refreshed. New Beginnings - New Beginnings!!! E-X-C-I-T-I-N-G!
Our New Year's Eve was pretty low key compared to years of the past. Typically, we adults celebrate the arrival of the New Year by excessive drinking, excessive eating, and excessive dancing. It's the one day a year that people are allowed to "Act a Fool" and it's okay or at least we THINK it's okay. It's excusable right, because it's New Years Eve, duh? Hehehehe!!!
In the past New Year's Eve for myself was that one night I could get ALL Hoochied Up(I use this word lightly, HA) I let my hair down, have some drinks, and dance my A$$ off! But, as I have matured I have realized this adult holiday should be celebrated by kids too! What a concept? A light bulb moment for myself!!!Or maybe it's the realization that I can't party my A$$ off, wake up the next morning and feel well enough to care for my children. Hahahaha! Who knows??
What I do know is that for the past two New Year's Eves, we have celebrated with our kids and they have thoroughly ENJOYED the New Year Eve festivities. This year I followed my dear friend Kristin's lead and a bunch of our families got together, and took our kids to Mel's Bowling Alley in Georgetown. This is a tradition that Kristin's family does each year. I thought it was a GREAT idea. So the Auditore Crew, the Conley Crew, the Haynes Crew and the Kimball Crew ALL went to Mels!!! Mel's New Years Eve Celebration included Bowling, an All You Can Eat Buffet, Karaoke, Raffle Prizes, and a New Year's Eve Champagne Toast for adults - Apple Cider Toast for the kiddos! All this FUN between the hours of 5:30pm - 8pm. It was a GREAT time. And, guess what? We adults still had time afterwards to go out and PARTY like Rock Stars!!! Well, I'm sure some people PARTIED, but this girl took herself home! Hope everyone had a Great New Year's Eve!!
