We spent the last day of 2011 (and the first day and a half of 2012) in Roscoe.
While the kids didn't completely understand the whole it's-the-end-of-the-year-and-tomorrow-starts-a-new-year thing, they did enjoy playing with the noisemakers they made and wearing their homemade hats.
The noisemakers were made from painted paper plates (we used small ones), and strips of tissue paper we glued to the back of the plates...
After the paint and glue dried, we folder the plates in half, filled them with rice (beans would work better, but we didn't have any), and stapled the edges.
Shake, shake, shake!
A lot of Kinect games were played over the last couple of days.
Grandpa and Caleb white-water rafting...
Caleb "stopping the leaks"...
Bowling...
Golf...
Not able to get in on the Kinect action, but he had fun anyway...
We went out to dinner while G&G stayed with the kids. I didn't get a picture from dinner, but here's one of us trying hard to stay up until midnight...
Other favorite activities at Grandma & Grandpa's:
playing with Grandpa on his iPad...
...and playing on the pool table!
Happy New Year!
