One of the most interesting things about New Year's is how we subject ourselves to staying up all day preparing ourselves to stay up all night and waiting for the clock to strike midnight. It always helps to have some interesting people to keep you company in order to pass the time away. This year the Elders in our area were able to spend the night with a member family until 12:30 am as long as they had a ride to and from our house and didn't have to drive their mission vehicles after hours. That was all the permission we needed to spend New Year's Eve with a group of homesick but very energetic missionaries!
Lots of Fondue, Disney Karaoke, and a round of Torx helped keep everyone busy. At midnight we set off fireworks and rang in the new year! Roman candles were a favorite this year. That and the 100 count missle launcher (which was Kenny's favorite). I still can't get over how the kids enjoy those sparklers. You know the ones you can buy for a penny a box. I still seem to never buy enough of those. Maybe I'll remember better next year. Or maybe we'll just buy more of those roman candles and watch the elders chase each other around the yard again! Happy New Year!
