The Dance

So it's New Year's Eve and our family is scattered. Eilis is at a friends house, Michael, Erin and Michael are at his sisters party (where I just came from) and Kellyanne is in bed. It's our New Year's Eve Dance. I go to the party for the first part, while Michael gets KA to bed and then I come home and Michael goes for the second part. The party is great. Catching up with people I haven't seen in a long time. But, we never ring in the New Year together. We talked about this and how much we don't like it, but it's just another reality of life with Kellyanne.She would have loved the party. The band would have had her on her feet dancing up a storm. But it's just too late for her, so we do what we do. And truth be told, I'm perfectly fine right now, cozy in my pajamas.

We did have a great time last night/this morning at our friend's house at the first ever New Year's Eve Eve Party - It was great. A nice one night get away with people who are very dear to us, just a close group of friends spending time, eating, talking, playing games, kids and grown ups alike.  It's a dance the whole family could participate in.

So, Happy New Year to all! Wishing you peace and prosperity and love for 2012!

Going to watch the ball drop and wait for the firecrackers to wake Kellyanne up : )

Okay 2 final thoughts having just watched the ball drop.....
1) Dick Clark? Really?

2) You couldn't PAY me enough $$ to be in New York on New Year's Eve
