New Year's Eve 2009

1 last post for 2009. Here we are spending New Year's Eve 2009 at home. Andy celebrated his New Year about 40 minutes ago at 9 PM, midnight Eastern Time. He does this every year and it drives me nuts. But.... I guess he is entitled. (However, we aren't ON the east coast....we are on the WEST coast.....) He also starts celebrating his birthday at 9 PM the day before. So, the kids and I haven't hit 2010 yet. I took Rose and Joey out tonight to look at Christmas lights 1 last time. David couldn't be bothered, he was too busy playing the Wii. Sort of sad because half of the people have taken their lights down in our favorite neighborhood. The true end to the holidays. Now we are home starting to play bowling, boxing and Mario Kart on the Wii. It will be a fun night in with the kids. Joey is still up.... who knows if he will make it till midnight, but we'll see! Oh, and like we do each year at home, we are also watching the Grateful Dead, New Year's Winterland show, the last show played at the Winterland Theater on New Year's Eve, 1978, before it closed for good. Here we are in all our new-found Wii-ness! Happy ALMOST New Year!

Update: Joey made it till 11 PM. Good try...... Maybe next year champ!
