New Years Eve 2009

After the last few years of having wild parties with friends and family around this year we decided we’d have a quiet one. This turned out to be a good idea with Emilie still recovering from an Ear infection, Josh being full of cold as well as us parents having the joys of said cold as well. It didn’t put a dampener on things though as we decided we’d have a bit of an extended film night and watched Coraline and G Force whilst eating New Years Eve treats from Tesco’s yummy but over-priced pick and choose what you want range!

After the films we sat down and played Pop Up Pirate and Buckaroo before the colouring books came out for the younger two and Dan played with Josh’s Indiana Jones Lego to while away the last hour or so of 2009.

Just before Midnight Dad went outside and setup the Fireworks, which this year consisted of 10 Rockets (one for each of the last ten years) and a monster rocket to celebrate the New Year with. We counted the New Year in and then started launching them all into the nights sky. They were actually really impressive; nice and loud and pretty too so a good choice there.

Everyone really enjoyed themselves but once they were done it was definately time for bed with the three very tired children as well as two very tired adults in need of some sleep.

It’s been a good 2009, 2010 will no doubt be even better still.
