New Years Eve 2011

On New Year's Eve Emmy and I (we were the only ones that got up) went out to breakfast to JP pancake for a yummy breakfast.  If you haven't tried this place you really should!  This was my breakfast...nutty french toast.  You can't see in the picture, but one side of each piece of french toast in covered in nut pieces.  Almonds & walnuts oh my. They are "famous" for their oven baked pancakes (German pancakes).

Since babysitters are scarce on New Years, we got together with some friends and their kids along with a couple cousins.  The kids love to play the candy bar game every new years.  It was so funny to watch.  We also lit off some fireworks, enjoyed some Merano's (kids had pizza), adults played some Shanghai.  It was a relaxed and enjoyable night to ring in the new year.

Here is video of the kids playing the candy bar game.  It's kind of long but it was so funny to watch.  Every single time Claire rolled a double she went over to Scott telling him how many times she has rolled a double (4, 5, 6, etc)  Right at the beginning of this video it catches Claire doing that.  She didn't even care about getting the candy bar she was just excited about getting doubles.
