New Year's Eve

On New Year's Eve we went to hang out and BBQ with our friends Nathan and Jill. Nathan's brother's joined us as well as a few other friends, Jennie, Brandon, Elizabeth, Paul and the twins. We had a good time visiting, watching LSU kick butt and the boys enjoyed playing what else but x box! The kids were sooo good and stayed up all night to ring in the New Year with us. Joe and I said from the beginning if they got too crazy we would just go home. But after the game we put in a movie for them to watch and they were just fine. Shortly after the movie ended I bundled them up to watch some fireworks outside. A few minutes before midnight Joe joined us and Jill brought out some sparkling grape juice to help us ring in the New Year. The kids loved watching the amazing fireworks show hosted by all of Nathan and Jill's neighbors-we couldn't believe how many there were! It was really cold so the kids stayed warm in Jill's blankets while the rest of us froze...notice Nathan and Josh in shorts with NO shoes...Those Britt boys are not the smartest! :)

We had a great time and after the fireworks stopped the kids were back inside all hyper and running around with the dogs and we started talking again. Before we knew it we were laying the kids in bed at 2 am!! Obviously the latest I've ever kept my kids awake but we all had a great time and unfortunately the kids still woke up at 8 but they took one heck of a nap that afternoon! Happy New Year!

Our little familyKalli had to have a sip of my drink

Me and Kaiden were the last ones outside, he wanted to see ALL of the fireworks so I stayed out with him for a few more minutes.

We had fun taking a few pictures
