New Year's Not-So-Rockin' Eve


Dear Laney,

Once upon a time, your dad and I were happening single people who could party all night long and liked to ring in the new year with great festivity and copious amounts of adult beverages.

Those years are over.

Instead of a romantic dinner for two, we met your Uncle Nate and Auntie Brynn for barbecue.



Later, at home, your dad and I tried to remember what we had accomplished in 2010. While it seems like it wasn't a very productive year, it puts things in perspective when you realize we went from here to here:


After we put you to bed, your dad fixed me a dessert sampler and a glass of champagne. We watched an hour of TV and went to bed. The end.


- We'll take Holidays for $400, Alex.
- Two cookies, a scoop of ice cream, a game show and a 9:30 bedtime.
- DING! What is, "New Year's Eve for the exhausted parents of a toddler?"

Love,
Mom
