New Year's Eve

We had planned to go to Carol and Patrick's neighborhood for New Year's Eve and just as we were getting ready to walk out the door it started pouring rain. Go figure we haven't had rain in months and then when we have a block party planned it rains. Lucky for us the rain in Orlando never seems to last too long and this was no different. It rained for about 30 minutes so we decided to contine on as planned once the rain passed. They had a great set up with football on for the guys, music and dancing in the cul-de-sac, tons of food, lots of kids....we really had a good time. Hunter was amused by chasing these kids on skateboards all night and running laps around the neighborhood while Matthew sat and played on his DS almost the entire time. Hunter somehow finally talked Matthe into running and playing hula hoops with him but then the rain started to come back so we decided to call it a night and head home to watch the ball drop. We had bought the kids some sparkling apple cider because they love it so much and of course I couldn't find any plastic cups last minute so they ended up with these really cool 2008 champagne glasses, the problem was they were real glass. Oh well, we just had to remind them before the toast to be gentle. We were watching and waiting for midnight and could see that Hunter was probably not going to make it so we ended up toasting at about 11:30 for him, and of course he fell asleep right after, but Matthew stayed up to watch the ball drop with us. None of us made it much later than that though. So at least we made it until midnight but we're not quite the party animals we used to be. ha!
