Holiday Recap 5

New Years Eve we spent with friends. The kids did well making it till about 10:45pm our od the house socializing with others. But then it was time to come home. Calvin was insistent on making it til lmidnight...but he promptly fell asleep (on me) as soon as we got home. Ellie made it to midnight, just barely, to see the ball drop, 

New Years Day we did our typical wake up before 8 and see the parade flyover as it flys over our house, watch the start of the parade, eat breakfast and get dressed, and then head out to the parade route to see it end. We caught almost the whole parade this year live. Unfortunately Earth, Wind, and Fire has already bailed and we didn’t see them. A float did almost get stuck on a power line right by us, that was exciting. And Calvin was excited to see Thor leading a band from Utah (seeing Thor remove his costume and people dump water on him at the end of the parade was semi-traumatizing though).
