Big New Year's Eve plans!

Well, first let me say that we are party animals those of us in this house. ANIMALS! OK, that's a lie. We are no such animals. The last time John and I partied, we were on a cruise ship two and a half years ago, in the ocean among friends and colleagues of John's with few cares in this world. Instead, this time we are going to fix a nice meal at home and those of us over the age of 20 months, are going to struggle to stay awake until midnight, ring in the new year, and then fall over into bed.
I cannot believe our baby is getting ready to start her second year out among the rest of us. Where did the time go?
See ya' father time, welcome baby new year! Here we go again...
