So last year, I had the idea to interview the kids with a bunch of questions and keep track of their answers with the hope that we could do it every New Year's Eve. I asked most of the same questions and added a few new ones for fun. What I found most interesting and amusing was comparing them to last year's answers. So instead of making readers have to go back into the archives, I have included them here if the kids answered them last year too. Last year's answers are in italics and grey. This year's answers are black and bold. For the most part--the kids were asked the questions in isolation from each other.
