Happy New Year to all.
It has been an awesome year full of fun family activities. Typically we stay home on New Years eve and try to keep awake to welcome in the New Year. This year, we were invited to got out to a new year eve non-alcoholic festival at the Ben Franklin Place in Centerpointe to celebrate.
We started our evening out with a sleigh ride.
Right after the sleigh ride we decided that it was too cold and decided to stay indoors for the rest of the evening till the fire works.
We watched a couple of 15 year old performers
and the girls got their face painted
and the parents just relaxed while the kids watched a magic show.
Finally it was time for the fireworks.
We got home around 11pm and the kids wanted to stay up till midnight. So we decided to watch Kung Fu Panda 2. 5 minutes to midnight, we watched the ball drop and wished everyone a Happy New Year. This was the first time ever that the kids were able to stay up past midnight for New Years. I guess they are getting older and more determined!
Here is wishing everyone a Happy New Year and all the very best for 2014.
