Funny Theo. When asked to write and draw a picture about family traditions, he chose "staying up until midnight on New Year's Eve." Needless to say I was horrified. Me, who loves traditions and is very big on holidays and this is what he chooses. And he had stayed up until midnight once, yes while in kindergarten.
So our neighbors across the street had their New Year's Eve party again and I told the kids it was more likely that they would be able to stay up until 10ish. The night moved on and before we knew it, it was 10. The kids were having fun so we decided why not. I took Gabriel home around 10 and popped back over for the countdown. We wished everyone a Happy New Year and Theo was happy to officially make it a tradition!
