How do two couples with three kids each ring in the new year? At home - together! When I was younger and cooler, New Year's Eve was an event. I went to Chicago, Times Square in NYC, Miami... always something BIG! Now I'm lucky to make it to midnight and will do just about anything not to have to leave my house.
So this year, our first New Year's Eve back in Atlanta, we invited our friends, The Hasslers, over - three kids and one dog in tow. It was great. The kids played, the babies went to sleep around 8, and the adults played board games, drank beer, and and ate pizza. I even made it to midnight. Then on New Year's Day, Josh and Jason played in a golf tournament, and Shannon and I bundled up all the kids and took them to the park for a while, came back and ate lunch and played board games with the kids, put the babies down for a nap again (see a theme here?) while the kids played more, and we just chatted and hung out... but don't tell our husbands, who took pity on us for being at home with all six kids and then called us to meet them for dinner at the clubhouse.
All in all, 2008 looks like it's off to a great start!
