Around 1:00 or so (the kids were still awake but Aud was struggling) we decided to leave, so Eric
pulled the car into their driveway (we'd parked at a neighbor's). But then Audrey fell asleep and stayed asleep when we layed her down, so we decided to stay for a little while longer. The older kids were all laying down in their living room watching a movie, so Conner was content - he actually didn't stay awake much longer there, either. Eric took our friend Carlee out to see the new Flex and started it up because he told her he'd take her for a ride. Then he got the idea to show her how the door code works, so he closed the door and locked it, then realized that he didn't know the code to unlock it. Remember - the car was running. So it was close to 2:00 and our new (locked) car was in their driveway running. Luckily, our friend Greg offered to bring Eric back to the house (a 30 minute drive) so he could get the extra key. It was a crazy situation! The guys made it back somewhere between 3:30 and 4:00, we played a couple more songs on Guitar Hero, then left at 4:00. After dropping off our friends Shannon and Chase, we made it home and in bed around 5:00. I can honestly say that's probably the latest I've ever stayed up on a New Years Eve!

The best thing about today is knowing that I don't have to go to school tomorrow! Normally we go back on the 2nd of January, but because of the timing (it being a Friday) we don't go back until Monday. That at least gives us a chance to try and get back to somewhat a normal schedule! After a crazy night (and day!) we definitely need it.
