Well we believe we brought in the new year with great Alaska style.
We started with a Lord of the Rings marathon (each of the three movies IS three hours) and highlighted this with the making of treats galore. Cake, cookies and fudge just to name the best...but we must not forget popcorn.
All this fun was given a brief intermission for a great steak and rice dinner followed by a nice walk in the dark and rain....
We had some fun by playing a new game Ender got for Christmas called Three Little Pigs. You build houses and hope the wolf doesn't come along and blow them down....Nia had the delight and pleasure at this point of coming along and interrupting all play...she does that...
So we followed this up with the classic Spaceballs. The boys couldn't believe that a show would make fun of Indiana Jones let alone Star Wars.....but they did laugh....
We were able to celebrate the clock hitting midnight with fireworks put on by others in the town and making noise with noisemakers that grandma was kind enough to send up so the boys didn't miss out...
Nia was the only one to miss seeing the clock turn twelve....so that was a first for us to have so many kids up.
Kale was adventurous enough to start off the new year by going swimming...YES that is swimming in the ocean, in the dark, in the winter at midnight in ALASKA! Sounds nice and chipper....he can gladly hold that record in our house. I told him I have no plans to join that group....
So Happy New Year! We hope you brought in 2014 in style as well.
