This year to ring in the new year we decided to keep it low key and spend it with my family, The Dimick/Peterson Family party of 8!! (soon to be 9!!) Instead of having our annual pj party with friends and family we decided to go to dinner and then come home and play games as a family.
We had a nice early dinner at the Olive Garden and headed back to Grandma and Grandpa's for ice cream sundaes and some game playing. We played the Wii, Leapster, and Spongebob Operation. It was a mellow evening and of course we never do make it to actually ring in the new year but that's ok!!
I guess New Years is not a big deal these days. It seems as though people just don't make a big deal of it anymore. Which I completely understand now that we are a Mommy and Daddy. I couldn't imagine not spending this time with Hayden as a family ringing in the new year. We had asked some friends and family to come and celebrate this holiday with us but it seems everyone had some sort of excuse as to why they couldn't come. I guess we are too boring and playing Spongebob is not their idea of a good time! It sure is funny how life changes and your priorities are completely different from years past. There is never a quiet dull moment at the Dimick's! But for some reason this is how we like it! It's music to our ears! And to think we will be adding another one to the chaos very soon!
Hope everyone had a happy new years eve and has a great 2010!!
