We carried on our annual tradition of celebrating New Year's in a hotel in Des Moines. Just our family rolling in the new year. We went out for a nice lunch at a Mongolian grill, then spent some time shopping a the Jordan Creek Mall. Back at our hotel we enjoyed the swimming pool. We have stayed at this same hotel many times. They have a small pool, a hot tub, and a kids pool. Th kids pool is warm like a bath tub and Luke had the most fun floating around in it. He even floated under with his goggles. Sometimes I think of all the hours spent driving to and from swimming lessons and all the money paid, was it really even worth it. I think it is so imprtant for my kids to know how to swim, but the lessons didn't seem to really help much. Jayden can swim to save her life. Jacob has had a ton of lesson, but spends all his time like a fish swimming under the water. I don't think he can really swim above water. Luke would rather not be under water.
Back in our 2 room suite, we decorated a gingerbread house, another tradition, ordered room service for dinner, watched movies, and hollered at the new year. Then we were all tired and went to bed.
