We made it to midnight!

Our New Year's Eve Staycation... 

burgers and fries at Scaddy's and then off to the hotel for a night of fun!

First things first - swimming!

Then back up to the room for games, treats and just hanging out:

And before we knew it, it was time to ring in the new year!

We each shared our New Year's resolution with each other and the boys have not neglected to remind me of mine - "to be a nicer mommy."  :)

Russ had to work at the fire station on New Year's day, so he snuck out in the early hours of the morning and the boys and I slept until 9am!  That's a record for my boys!  We enjoyed the free continental breakfast and watching cartoons on all the numerous channels that we don't have at home.  About noon, we headed over to Jungle Jims and spent the next several hours riding rides, playing video games, eating pizza and climbing around the play area.  It was a blast!

Before we ended our day, of course we had to visit Russ at the station (check out this post).  The kids were out before I even got on the highway to head home.  It was a perfect getaway.

Happy New Year!
