To celebrate New Year's Eve we went over to the Padgett's, some friends from church. Brooke made it to about 10:30 before crashing (takes after her Daddy), but Braden, a true night owl, was still begging to stay up and party at 2a.m.; he enjoyed himself so much he informed me that we needed to have a party at our house. We also brought home some of the party hats, which he has made us all wear several times today; he really enjoyed himself! I loved watching him socialize with the other children; he like always gravitated to the older children, especially a little 5 yr. old named Zoe. He blew his horn as loud as everyone else when we rang in 2007, which Brooke luckily slept through. This morning we continued the celebration and went out to eat breakfast with the Padgetts and Eichorns, where Braden devoured some pancakes; the one thing he didn't like about the party was the food, so he was ravenous the next morning; a lot of good memories were made. :)
