New Years Eve and Day

On New Years Eve we went to an 80’s themed party at our friends Gino and Rayma’s house.  I can not say we rang in the New Years there as others did because the kids definitely couldn’t hang that long or me.  I was wearing heels and lets be real, I don’t wear heels too often anymore.  It was funny to see everyone dressed up and even the kids joined in too.  Friends, fun and food is always a great combination to end a year and wish in a new one.

We were home by 10 and Brad and I put the kids to bed and rang in the New Year on the couch with a kiss!

On New Years Day we took the kids to ride their new bikes.  They hadn’t really gotten a chance since Christmas.  Bradley did great on his new bike.  It was a challenge at first but he is riding great now.  Brad and I can ride it and not feel like clowns on a little bike so it is big in proportion to him.  He can do it now and will be able to get years out of the bike, long enough to wear he is doing wheelies and tricks on it according to Brad.

Gavin was riding a scooter so I decided to try again to see if Easton could ride a bike.  I think his legs must have grown just enough now and he did so amazing too! He loved it.  Gavin since has tried Bradley’s old bike with the training wheels back on but I hope to remove them soon.  I think he could do it without help now.

Easton got a spinner seat for his Birthday and Brad had a bright idea to pull it on the bike.  It was so much fun for them until a wheel broke off.  I am thinking it may not have been built for that.  Oops.

You can imagine how fast it was with how fast the boys were running.  Oh and I forgot to mention the new helmets.  Bradley and Gavin both were in need of new bike helmets so Uncle Billy and Aunt Devon got them ones as a practical gift but they are way cooler than just practical!
