Our trip down to be with my whole family over New Years was a blast! Charlie, Sophie and their cousins had so much fun, esp b/c Poppie made them their very own secret clubhouse, which was deemed the "Blue Swan Hotel" by Emi! This clubhouse included their very own hot tub....LOL...this was made possible in 20degree weather only b/c Poppie enclosed the Entire deck area surrounding the hot tub...or "hot pool" as all the kids call it, w/heavy duty plastic....so it actually was a sauna in there b/c he also put two heavy duty heaters inside..LOL....we called it the "redneck" way...but the kids found it to be paradise..LOL!!!!
So...New Years was so special to us to have our Sophie Su home....
We celebrated w/the kiddos until 9pm w/many rounds of charades...sipping bubbly white grape juice, wearing out the party hats and horns..and completed their evening out front w/a lovely firework display put on by their crazy Uncles!!!
Then off to bed for them, and us grown ups had a lovely evening ringing it on in sipping our own bubbly in the "Blue Swan Hotel"..LOL!!!!
Happy New Years to all!!! May your year of 2010 be as wonderful as can be!
