New Years Eve

New Years Eve

New Years Eve is a party!!!!!!!!!!!!! This starts about four o’clock and we have pizza, shrimp, egg roles, lots of soda pop, chips and dip, mini bagels, candy, ta quitos, cheese ball, barbeque chicken wings, egg nog, and what ever random food Mom can find.
We stay up all night playing games, watching movies, and putting 3-D puzzles together. We stay up talking. And just have tons of fun. Then when the clock turns twelve we go out side and bang our pots and pans together.
This all started because when mom was young she would baby sit on New Years Eve. She said that is when they paid the most, up to a whole dollar an hour! When she was fifteen or sixteen her sisters and their husbands started coming home and playing games and eating food until midnight, she then discovered that was a lot more fun than babysitting until 4:30 am. Mom likes ending and starting the year with the people she loves most!
12:00 doesn’t seam nearly as late as it use to, in fact, it almost seems like I get to go to bed early that night. This party is one that Mom hopes we all come back for.
