Happy Nac-a-New Year

We headed off to stay with the cousins G & Amy in Nac for New Year's. Also there were our friends Bob & Kelly. The first night, we had a great dinner and fun hanging out. That night, we told Margaret that she needed to go to bed with the younger kids, but if she was still awake when all the other kids were asleep that she could get up and play games with us. She and the kids were all tucked in their bedrolls, and about an hour later Margaret came out and said all the other kids were asleep. She stayed up with us and played games for another 2 hours.
The next morning, Walker and Nathan woke up and asked us where the presents were. We were all confused until we found out how Margaret got the kids to go to sleep...she told them that if they went to bed before midnight that MAYBE Santa could come to visit. Clever girl!
Keith joined the crew on New Year's Eve morning and the guys had fun with their LONG golf outing. Then we headed for a hike with Gerald at their property.
Another great dinner, and then the guys treated us to a spectacular fireworks show by the campfire. We had the fireworks finale around 8pm for the kids' countdown. We got the kids (except Margaret, of course) in bed and then hung out until a little after midnight. Happy New Year!
