We did timed activities throughout the evening and the kids got a kick out them. Not to mention it was a great learning tool to help the boys with telling time.
Some of the fun activities include: New years interviews where we wrote down what made 2012 great for each of us and how we are going to make 2013 memorable. I have stored away these interviews until next year. For one of Ash's New years resolution he said he would try really hard to not talk in class (both school and church). My good little boy has stuck to this resolution so far. He comes home from school or church and reports how well he has done. I am so proud of him.
Another activity was playing games we did both board games and video games. We had a blast. The favorite activity of the evening was eating smores by our camp fire (the ipad with a roaring camp fire), singing songs, and telling stories. We also set up the tent and the boys got spend the night in the tent. The evening ended with us ringing in the New Year with New York at 9:00 p.m. Living on the West Coast has it's advantages. The kids were in bed by 9:30 p.m. and Nate and I were in bed by 10:30 p.m. We are not the party animals we use to be.
