My college room-mate, Anne, came up from San Francisco to visit us and stay for a few days. Jeremy is working a double shift at the fire station and has the pleasure of working both New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. The kids and I kissed him goodbye on December 30th and said we'd see him back on January 2nd to ring in 2012.
Anne and I were on our own with the kids, so we celebrated the best way we know how. We played with the kids in the morning and then got a babysitter for the afternoon. We drank coffee, window shopped some sales, went out for dinner and were home by 7pm. Perfect. We'd already toasted, celebrated, put the kids in bed, and watch a rerun of Parks and Rec and fell asleep on the couch by 10pm. It was the best New Year's Eve I've ever had.
Before the kids went to bed, we had a mini celebration with the kiddos. Anne brought Martinelli's for them and we lit some sparklers. They thoroughly enjoyed some toasting, but weren't too sure about the cider. Everly thought it was very "ficey!" and Parker just thought it tasted "weird!". More happy toasting and on to the sparklers. Two happy kiddos in bed. Happy New Year!
