980 - Prince Ali is home, Happy New Years eve all

Day 980 the royal  PITA dog was up at 7:30 but this time it was to make the service workers at the well in adjacent field know he was on guard. Again I got a bit more sleep in after letting him back in but soon it was time to get up and wait for the text from Prince as to his departure up north.

The girls were of course still sleeping as I left after 11. I picked up the sleepy Prince and drove right back to Strathmore while he dozed. A quick bank deposit from furniture sales, grab a booster juice for lunch then off to meet Britt at the tanning studio. Prince continued his nap stating taking off his clothes for 5 minutes in the "sunshine" was not up his alley today.

It was then off to home where he immediately crawled into bed and was fast asleep. Shaina had gone to town to visit with Emily and work out. After a nice shower I did a bit of marketing and waxed the mirror while Britt hung out downstairs :-) It was a quiet relaxing afternoon before Shaina arrived home at 5 and preparations began for New Years Eve!

The snow started to fall big fluffy flakes causing not so nice driving conditions but lovely accumulation. Ada had a late sleep getting the Paetz's out here around 8 just as Britt's friends started to arrive as well. Shaina was chomping at the bit to get card game going or be on her way so after a quick visit and photo op she was off to celebrate that last day of 2013.

 opening a birthday present early

 and a few presents from Kaylin and Aaron

Britt and her 4 girl friends celebrated downstairs while the rest of us enjoyed yummy snacks and a few canasta games well into the late or should I say early morning shutting it down at 3:30 and Paetz's staying the night too. Shaina spent the night at Paetz's.

 Craig and Asher mingling

 Asher enjoyed spying on the girls dancing

Happy New Years Eve friends and family, enjoy and cheers!!!
