This was the first year that the boys actually stayed up late enough to ring in the New Year with me!!! We started our celebration out at supper time by Jeff preparing a YUMMY prime rib supper for us and my parents. (Yes, we are homebodies every year..we choose not to go out and celebrate, but instead stay home and make our supper a celebration for Brooke's birthday). We then watched the New Year's Eve festivities in New York on tv with the boys enjoying some of the music, ate birthday cake and sang Happy Birthday to Angel Brooke, then we celebrated when the ball dropped in New York (11:00 PM our time) because I figured they would zonk shortly after. Well...the adrenaline of blowing our horns and kissing and hugging gave them their second wind, and we kissed and hugged again at OUR midnight, too! They were asking me to put them to bed by about 12:05, but we DID bring in the New Year together (Jeff even stayed up with us, which he typically does not)! Here's to 2013!
