On our last day with cousins here the two big girls went skiing with their mom and dad and Uncle Jeff. The three littler kids stayed with Aunt Laurie and decorated for our big celebration. Then, we went to see "Alvin and the Chipmunks" and Ella loved the merry-go-round at our local theater.
We re-grouped at home and the kids made their own pizzas and had a party. Ella insisted we had to have cake for it to be a party so I threw together some cupcakes, I couldn't let her down!
We moved all the clocks in the house forward a few hours and celebrated new year's in the Azores time at 8pm. (NOTE TO SELF FOR 2008: hide all horns and noisemakers until midnight time!!!!!)
The kids were all tired and off schedule and crabby and made hasty exits to bed.
Aunt Mary Anne and Hayley snoozed on the couch for a bit until she gave up but Jeff and I were the only ones who actually made it to midnight.
