New Years Eve...

After looking at so many blog posts the last couple of days, I had to catch up on a month worth of posts. I read many thoughts about new years resolutions, saw many pictures of your great New Years Eve parties, and realized that I am quite boring in my old age. You see, this was my brilliant New Years evening. We have never purchased crab legs for the whole family. The kids see them in the store and think they look disgusting. Well I know they are not, but didn't know this fact until I was about 24.
I decided, that to bring in the year 2010 I would go to Costco and purchase these lovely little legs and give my kids a fancy steak and crab leg dinner. Help them realize how divine those disgusting little things really are.
They all hated them.
Even with all the butter and garlic butter, they just didn't appreciate.
Such ingrates.

Luke was actually afraid of them.

We had way to many legs and J.P. and I can only eat so much (which is a lot), so we decided to take a few over to our next door neighbors, who we hoped loved crab more than our own little crabs. Turns out Bob was there by himself, and was going without dinner on New Years Eve. Sweet Savvy thought it was the coolest thing that we decided to give them to him when he needed a little surprise that night.

Turns out the crab legs were a hit.

With Alec being the adult that he is, he was off to his friends house for New Years. We were left with 3 excited little kids to stay up for all the New Years hoop-la. After a great visit with Lee the night started winding down.

This is what was happening with ALL three of them about 11:00 that night.

So J.P. and I had our own firework show at midnight.

In Mountain Dew pajamas and all.

We tried to wake Michelle and Greg up with the rounds of firecrackers.

Turns out they are as old and boring as we are.

Here's to hoping this year will kick 2009's behind.
