HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

So i know i'm really late for this one. Anyway. Happy New year everyone! Wow I can't believe another year has gone by. We had a very fun new year's party as a family. We let Jaxen stay up a little later than his bedtime, but eventually he was ready for bed. Kaeryn and Tristan had taken a nap during the day, they were determined to stay up until midnight. And that they did. We had yummy hot chocolate(made by Holly) and ham bread for dinner. Ham bread is a tradition in Ron's family. We had fun putting together a puzzle Ron had gotten for me and we played the game of life. It was alot of fun! We turned the T.V. on to watch the ball drop and to watch some of the festivities. The kids shouted the count down and we all cheered. We went outside and popped poppers(even though it was cold). We drank sparkling white grape juice. Then we did another venezuelan tradition. We each ate 12 grapes. One for each month of the year. You make a wish for each month and then you eat the grapes. Tristan made us laugh because he wished outloud. For every grape he wished for more Thomas toys. Of course more Thomas toys, who needs good health when you can have more Thomas toys to make you happy! We love you Tristan!
