New Year's Eve

We decided to go up to my dad's cabin for new year's and of course when we told Jax where we were going he couldn't wait. He was so excited to see his Papa Kirk and go snowmobiling. We got up there yesterday evening and relaxed by the fire and had dinner. The kids were having fun playing and running around, I thought that maybe they would wear themselves out and I could put them to bed. This however was not the case, the only ones that were worn out were the adults! We all decided we were too tired to stay up until midnight, so we went to bed at about 11:45. What a bunch of party animals we are! Ella decided she was not going to sleep in the crib so me, Ella and Jax slept in the bed and poor Nicky had to sleep on the couch that was way too short for him. There was no way the 4 of us were going to fit on a double bed. For some strange reason Ella thought that it was play time when we layed down Nick and I were trying to get her to calm down and go to sleep which she was not the least bit interested in doing. Nick looked at the clock and it was 5 minutes after midnight, instead of the normal cheering and everything that most people do, we looked at each other, yawned gave each other a kiss and went back to trying to settle the princess down. My how new years celebration's change when you have kids! This morning we woke up and had some breakfast and then went for a snowmobile ride and Jax loved every minute of it! He wasn't too happy when it was time to come home today but we promised him we would come back to Papa's cabin soon so he could ride the snowmobile some more.
