Happy New Year!

Last night we continued our New Year's Eve tradition of opening a surprise each hour.

We began by decorating signs.

Next was dinner (ravioli) and make your own sundaes.

Before Alice went to bed, she and Jack showed off their signs. Jack's is decorated in an Iron Giant theme since he and Jay watched that earlier in the day.

At 8:00, we worked an I Spy puzzle.

9:00 was time for Hocus Focus, which Jack really enjoyed.

At 10:00, we popped in a movie and Jack curled up on the couch. He only made it to about 10:30.

He roused around midnight and we watched the ball drop on the local channel. It was off to bed for me, too, since Alice went to bed at her regular time.

We have been enjoying the first day of the 2011 around the house together, especially thankful that this new year did not begin as cold and snowy as 2010!
