The boys were very excited to stay up on New Year Eve to welcome 2022.  They had lined up the whole night with what they would like to do which included movies and game times.

     Stuart and I did add a surprise for the boys.  After Christmas, Connor had shared that he was slightly disappointed that there was not a scavenger hunt during present opening like we did with the previous two Christmas.  So we prepared one for them to play on New Year Eve.  We came up with eight clues for them to find eight letters and afterward they had to unscramble them to find the location for a little treasure.  The boys worked together nicely and quickly to solve the clues and they were able to successfully find themselves two little flurry friends.  The boys enjoyed this unexpected scavenger hunt.

    This year, for some reasons, none of us were too tired in the evening.  We had no problems going to midnight to ring in the new year together.  Afterward, the kids slowly got ready for bed; Stuart and I ended up staying up to 2am before turning in as well.  Buddy was very confused why we were up so long; he mainly slept on the coach while waiting for us.  We all wish for a great and healthy year in 2022!  Hope our current situation will finally turn around and improve this year.
