Happy New Year... (Yawn!)

Joel and I rarely have gone out for New Year's and since the kids were born we've rarely (never?) even stayed up until midnight. So this year we decided to go out, with the help of Joel's parents who babysat the kids.

We started out here and then walked across the street and met friends for dinner here. Our dinner reservations were for 9pm so we had a leisurely dinner and then went upstairs to the bar area at about 20 minutes to midnight and watched the festivities in Times Square on TV.

It was a very fun evening but since I didn't get to bed until after 1, I am a little tired. Ben, thoughtful boy he is, is still sleeping right now. But Becca dear and her nasty cold (poor thing), was up coughing and fussing by around 7 or so. Joel and I agreed that I would get up with the kids and let him sleep in, and then later on when Becca goes down for her nap I will take a nap also.
