Every year we have a kidcentric New Years party with an early countdown. This was the first year we did the countdown at midnight. Even the littles were up and going strong. We did our noisy parade, usually have the kids dig in the music box but bought horns this year. Poor Deanna didn't like how noisy it was so we ended that quickly and moved onto dancing in the New Year. So cute watching the Littles. We were missing a couple families so it was a smaller, quieter party than usual but nice. Dinner was great and then lots of snacks. Lili was a little misplaced being the oldest there and she ended up spending the evening with the adults. Four of us played Nertz with her so she was ok. Our guests all slept over so the fun continued the next morning. Fei is still having a hard time being nice to Lili, especially when there are other kids around. She has been making fun of Lili when there is an audience. NO CLUE how to get her to stop this behaviour. Kinda' hoping calling her on her actions on the blog might be a little wake up call for her to stop. She has done it in our group and has started at school too. NOT cool. We had planned to take down Christmas yesterday but ended up napping in the afternoon and lounging in the living room with tv the rest of the day. Guess we all needed some real down time.
