Happy New Year!

We began the day with a playgroup that ended in a Countdown to Noon! All the kids had party hats and noisemakers and we had our little countdown and celebration just so the kiddos would not miss out on being able to celebrate "NoonYear".


We then did our traditional evening of bowling this year for New Years.


Colin really got into bowling this year. Here is an example of his night...roll the ball down the lane, come up to the table, eat a piece of pizza, walk back to the ball return, get his ball and roll his second ball.


We had a lot of fun...I just kept score...not much of a challenge since the computer does it automatically but I feel that I played a very important supervisorial role. (is that a word?)


The other new thing was that both boys tried Sparkling Cider. Colin kind of liked it at first but then changed his mind. Although I think in the future I will have a picture very similar to this except Colin will be bowling with his fraternity and the glass will be beer instead of apple cider.


When we went home we had a snack of cheese sandwiches and some more sparkling cider...this time in some wine glasses. Somehow, our 5 year old had seen how to hold a wine glass properly. He is so refined....no idea where he gets that from! Happy 2009 Everyone!
