New Year’s Eve was always kind of a bust when I was growing up, so I am determined to make it great with my kids. And so far so good since Scout talks about banging pots and pans all year long.
Our day started early with a little neighborhood face painting and some long boarding.
And some baby Dash Crackatoa.
Like mother like son.

We then headed to Macaroni Grill for dinner with the Micah’s family. I think we are on year three or four, and it’s a fun tradition. And then we headed home for the NYC New Years!
We started by skateboarding/riding the night away.
Dash loves beach-cruising on the front of me.
Scout and Micah were riding like little demons in the night, and were all over our neighborhood.
Dash and I were trying to keep up, but they were pretty fast.
As 9:00 (midnight NYC time) was about to strike, Scout manufactured a hanging pot and spoon that he could bang while skateboarding.
ANd as soon as it was actually time, we ran in to watch the ball drop, count down from ten, and then bang away.
Even little Dashy was loving the craziness.
After pots and pans (which the kids loved again this year), we put Dash down, and then watched videos I have taken throughout 2012. We all loved them, but Scout was laughing so hard at a few that he was crying. They were mostly of Icka being stinky, and him being a show off.
It is simple, but it is great.
What else would I want to bring in the new year?
Family and memories can’t be beat.
And then our intentions were to have a party, but we are old, and decided to go to bed instead!
Happy 2013.
