New Years Eve!

Unfortunately we had to cut our vacation about 6 days early. Every body was sick, the dog was driving me crazy, I had major lack of sleep and we wanted to be able to see Tyler and spend New Years with him. We had so much stuff to bring home that the Tahoe was too crowded to let Chopper ride in his kennel. I was nervous about how he was going to do but he just slept the whole way.

We only had to make two stops to let him go potty. He was such a good dog and the kids were perfect. I love traveling with the kids they are so much fun and never complain.

I'm sad that we had to cut our stay a little early. I didn't get to see any of my Friends but hopefully we can make another trip soon.....

Why is it that New Years is never exciting for us. I am going to make sure that next year is different. This is ridiculous. Tyler had to go to bed early because he had to get up at 4:30am for work. I wanted to make it special for the kids so we made some treats and planned our evening. By 9:00 I fell asleep on the couch. I woke up at 11:30 and Shayna was asleep on the other couch, Chopper was asleep on the floor and after searching for Britton I found that he had tucked himself into bed and was sound asleep. I woke Britton up and asked him if he wanted to stay up for a half hour to ring in the new year but he wasn't interested he said we should make our own New Year party tomorrow night....I agreed. I carried Shayna into bed and I couldn't get her to give me an answer so I took that as there was no way she could stay up. I took Chopper out to go potty then put him in his kennel and got myself ready for bed. I crawled in bed at 11:45 and could not sleep. So while everybody was sleeping I laid in bed and listened to my neighbors scream and yell and blow horns, I heard all of the fireworks and said Happy New Year to myself.....then fell fast asleep.

The next night........
We tried again to celebrate New Years. We had every intention to stay up until midnight because Ty didn't have to work the next day........We were asleep by 10:00.......We are so lame.
