The boys had decided that they wanted to stay up past midnight.  We had a hotpot meal requested by Connor first, and next we tried to have a family game marathon night.  We alternated playing board games with video games throughout the evening.  One of the video games was the new Christmas present, Mario Party; it has been the family favorite since Christmas.  By 11pm, we were tired, so we just watched some TV.  Somehow we made it to the last 10 minutes; so we gathered the boys to watch the countdown.  We stayed together and rang in the new year together.  Wish us all a great 2020!
