One of my goals is to get my pictures organized but I spend as much time with my memories as I do sorting. These pictures were taken when both boys wanted to stay up New Year's Eve for the first time. Here they are, starting out strong - there is four years between their ages. Same mom, same dad, different coloring.
With DGS's#2 coloring, he attracted lots of attention. Still does.
Going strong - at this point they both think they'll make it to midnight.
Oops, one down. Actually as I remember, he lasted longer than DH did.
Okay, laying down on the floor for a bit - but not sleeping!
Whoo-hoo! Made it. He was sound asleep within 5 minutes.
I remember the first time my parents let me stay up until midnight. I expected something magical, mystical to happen when the next year rolled around and was surprised to see we really just moved from one minute to the next. But I still stay up every year to see the new one in. One year I ate a whole bag of Doritos to stay awake - haven't been able to eat them since. Any special memories of the first time you stayed up on New Year's Eve?
