On New Year's Eve Chris' cousin, Beth, got married. When we got to the wedding they had balloons above the dance floor just waiting to be dropped at the midnight hour. Ian was so excited to see the balloons drop. Unforatunately (or for mom and dad on most days - forunately!) Ian was pretty tired and fell asleep on some chairs way before the balloons dropped (like 9:30pm!). Borne on the other hand tried really hard to stay away until that late hour. Borne is not one to just fall asleep anywhere (unlike Ian - as you can see in the picture!). He was so tired and we knew it but he fought sleep with all his might. Then Chris' Aunt Barbara got ahold of Borne. Between her necklace that Borne hung on to the entire time and her swaying after about an hour she had him sleeping. It was the sweetest thing ever since he's not a cuddler. I ended up holding him for about an hour after her and I loved every minute of it. I remember holding Ian alot when he was little while he slept but Borne has never been like that. He likes having his blanket and paci in the crib - everytime he sleeps. So I took the opportunity to snuggle with my little guy!
This was early in the night when they were both pretty tired but neither had fallen asleep yet!
And in the end none of us saw the balloons drop. We headed out around 11:30 - I'm pretty sure to a below zero wind chill! We got the boys to bed and Chris and I watched a few fireworks from our porch. I'd say a pretty good New Years Eve!
