NYE

New Years is a funny thing. Every year I get excited for it, remembering how special it was when I was little because our parents would go out and we would get to invite over a friend, watch movies, while eating popcorn and candy, play games, and make our own confetti (by ripping up colored paper) to throw at midnight. Also, as the time drew near, we would get out all the pots and pans and arrange them into our own drum set to announce to all the world that the New Year was here!!!!

Then when I got older, New Years meant dancing!!! one of my favorite things to do, and it was usually followed by a breakfast party at someones house.

The last few years though, New Years has usually been a let down. Its always thick with potential and anticipation, but then falls flat on its face. I usually end up watching a movie and then turning to the person next to me and saying, "happy new years" then go back to the movie. This year we wanted to go dancing, but didn't know where to go, and the few places we found were too expensive to be worth it. So we ended up visiting family and friends in Salt Lake and Bountiful (which was really fun to catch up and play a few games), and then drove home in time to hear our neighbors counting down.

So, my New Years Resolution?? - Make next New Years Eve awesome again! and plan something epic to do to usher in the new year!

(actually, to be more festive throughout all the year too)
