New Years Eve 2009

As is our tradition to visit the Nighttime Park some time after Christmas; we enjoyed Wild Holiday Nights til closing time as the start of our New Years Eve celebration! here's an elephant decked out for the holidays: Beautiful evening to be out -- Here is the nightscape of Congo fishing village's waterfall at Mombasa Lagoon:

The Black Light Puppet Show was an absolute HIT with the kids!

they liked it so much that they watched both shows!!

Then...home and cozy warm in bed til our COUNTDOWN!! The party menu was sweets, sweets, and sweets (only once a year!): cinnamon sugar bagel poppers, Krispy Kreme doughnuts, chocolate pretzels, chocolate raisins, pasteles, swedish fish gummies, & jelly beans.

We toasted in the 2010 with sparkling cranberry, fun tunes, and the live webcast of the CBS Vegas countdown! Josh woke up in time and stayed up about 5 minutes before politely asking to go back to bed. Aidon willingly climbed out of bed just after midnite and stayed up for the rest of the party!

Farewell 2009!
