New Year’s Eve was a GOOD TIME at our house!!
We were ready to rock in 2010!!
We went to 4:00 Mass to start, because the next day was a Holy Day of Obligation for us. It was a really great Mass, with a great homily, so that was a great start to our whole night.
When we got home, we started cooking and prepping our party food for the night!
The menu included buffalo chicken, pineapple wrapped in bacon, stuffed mushrooms, and simple deviled eggs, to start.
Bacon Wrapped Pineapple Bites – recipe HERE
Later on we had more snack kind of stuff, and some party punch with sherbet ice cream in it.
The kids were very excited, because we told {J, O &S} they could stay up until midnight, if they could make it!
{JM} was the first to start getting crazy! No surprise there!
And it doesn’t take much, to get Daddy going!!
We had the TV on of course, and were thrilled that Daughtry played a set in Time Square!! I love them.
While they got bored of watching the people in the streets of Time Square , and were waiting for the ball to drop, {JOS} found a new use for their party hats, and the battle was on!!….
This is about as wild as I’ve ever let them get in the house! lol
It really was hilarious to watch them!! We were all hysterical!
{S} was the first one, really fighting the sleepies. We noticed him suddenly sitting there quietly, and his big sister asked, “What’s a matter {S}? Are you tired??” And he quietly said “Yes.” What a strange sight, for all of us. This boy wakes UP the ‘party animal’, every day! But…..it was LATE by now.
And soon enough…..the ball was dropping…..the countdown began….and then…..MIDNIGHT!!
And a LOT of NOISE!!! JOYFUL NOISE!!! (of course).
{A} was saying how hard the horns were to blow.
I knew she wasn’t kidding when I saw how her photo turned out!
.
LOL!!! GOOD GOLLY!!
Just kidding. I played with that one a little bit!
This is the real photo…..

Then it was time for Happy New Year Kisses!!
This is {J, O & S}’s ‘triplet kiss’ they have done since they were very little! {O} puts her finger to her lips, as central point, and all 3 of them kiss it. I always loved that. <sniff>
Then there was kisses for big sister!!
Michael and I are off to the side there. Sorry….that one’s private. ; )
Hope you all had a great New Year’s Eve!!
