New Years Eve and something I can't live without!

After doing 2 serious post I wanted to lighten things up a bit :-)

New Years eve keeps getting more fun each year as the kids get older. Next year even Jonathan might get to stay up to enjoy the fun and games :-) It will be a few years for anna to be able to join in.

When I was growing up New Years Eve was always a lot of fun. My family would get sausage, cheese and crackers, some other snacks and we would all play board games and then watch the ball drop. So we are starting the same traditions with my family.

It was fun when it was just me and mike but now that the kids can enjoy it with us it's really neat. So here are a few pictures of us enjoying some New Years Eve fun.

Playing the game Trouble that Joseph got for Christmas.

This is one of many wii games we all played together. This one is Sonic/Mario olympic games :-)

Now something I get every year for Christmas that I could not live without... ok I guess I could but it sure makes life simpler for me is my Moms Plan It Calendar,


We have 4 kids in the house right now and 2 parents so there is room for each of our names, but if you have more children mom and dad could share a line if needed. It's great because at a glimpse you can see if anyones activities conflict and as your making appointments you can easily see what other family members having going on the same day. It also comes with a page of stickers and in the back of calendar has a space for mom and dad's info for babysitter as well as important information. It also has a pocket at the bottom that I keep invitations, sports schedules etc.

So if you don't have one.... you should get one! :-) Here is just one place to get it, but it's available a lot of different places.
