Happy 2012

We always get invites to NYE parties, but always turn them down unless we can bring our children.  Since the kids were born, I've made it a tradition to bring the new year in as a family.  I don't ever want to start a new year without them.

The kids and I ususally play board games and musical chairs.  Then we watch the ball drop and head to bed.  Nothing fancy.  Just family fun.  The kids enjoy it.  We get to stay in our PJs in the safety of our own home.

This year has not started off too great.  RJ and I have been sick the last three days.  On Sunday, it went from being 60 degrees out to snowing on Monday and in the 20s.  The kid's first day back to school from Christmas break was cancelled do to weather.  I'm just hoping the kids do not catch our sickness.

I took these three pictures of the kids right after the ball dropped.  Hunter hasn't changed much this past year, but Joseph and Hailey sure have.  Joseph's face is loosing its baby fat and becoming more structured like a man's face.  He has "dirt" on his upper lip aka a mustache.  What the junk?  How does my 12 year old boy have a mustache?

Hailey's hair has grown a lot.  She has lost a total of eight teeth.  And yes, I did schedule an orthodontist appointment for her.  She is excited.  She is looking and acting so grown up.  As her permanent teeth come in, I can really see the difference they make in her appearance.  It's hard to believe she is almost 8.

What did everyone else do for NYE?  Did you go to any parties that involved the kids or just adults?  Or did you spend it at home?
