New Years

Well since we didn't get to spend a lot of time with Chad during break we decided to so something a little extra at the end.  First on New Years Eve we went downtown for the kids celebration which was fun.  They had a kids doing spray paint art and Brock won one which made his day.  Kaylee was asleep before we ever got there and slept through us eating dinner and when we went outside to walk she woke up Kenzie sat down and then she was asleep.  It was really loud with all of the music but they had a few fun shows, we saw some jugglers and the kids ALL loved that.  They count down at 9 to end the kids part and then we left before it got to crazy.  We got home about 9:45 and everyone was awake and ready to go.  So we went outside on the trampoline and watched all of the fireworks that everyone in the neighborhood were lighting off.  We did a few sparklers with the neighbors and some little poppers and then played around outside for a while.  When we came in it was already 11:40 and we got changed in their pjs and counted down to midnight altogether.  It is the first year any of our kids made it and they ALL did.  It was awesome though, being downtown split up the night nicely so it went fast and everyone had a good time.

Then since it was the weekend and the last one that Sea World is open for the season we decided to head to San Antonio.  We went first to my Aunts house see my cousin who had just gotten home from her mission.  She is awesome and I have not gotten to be with her much in my life the same as all of my cousins really.  So we spent the night with them hanging out talking and watching some tv.  Then the next day we headed over to Sea World.  It was a lot of fun, still really busy since it was the last day but fun.  We got to go to all of the shows the timing worked out perfect.  We saw the Polar Express in 4-D which the kids LOVED and then it was getting pretty cold so we got ready to head home.  We rented a movie for them to watch on the way home and they were awesome on the drive home.  It was our best short little trip ever and hopefully is a great sign for the new year.
