New Year's Eve

We spent New Year's Eve dancing at the Mapusaga Ward dance. We were there until about 11:30. Then we left and went to the Pasega Ward dance. We brought in the new year with balloons falling and popping and hugs and kisses to all of our friends and family. After the dances were over, we went to my parents house to hang out with my parents, brother, and his "friend." We went to Dee's to get some breakfast. This is the best picture attempt out of three.

We are excited for a new year and new goals. One of our goals is to be consistent with our family home evening. The first Sunday of each month, we are supposed to get together with Kuso's cousins and their spouses and kids to have family night. As part of the family home evening, we set group goals which include to build on our welfare (food storage) and do more activities as a family rather than the boys chillin with the boys and the girls chillin with the girls.

This first week we had them all over to our house. It was a little stressful having 8-10 adults and 5 young kids in our little two bedroom apartment, (that is not set up for kids to be entertained) but it was still fun. They were here for nearly 5 hours, so given that, the kids did quite well with not having toys and a space to run.

Family home evening was something we didn't do much when I was young, so it's fun for me to see how they run their family night. Kuso's cousins are good friends and it's great that we can spend time with them.
