New Years Eve and More.

Last night we ditched our darling kids at a friends house for the evening. While Lauren and Garren celebrated the night with fireworks, games and food, we went out dancing. The night held lots of fun for all of us, yet I believe that my age is starting to catch up with me. Staying up until the wee ours of the morning is no longer that fun and exciting. My bed really does seem to call out for me. Although I started to die out when it got late, I didn't actually get home and into my bed until about 2:00 a.m. this morning. Garren and Mark snuck out and played a few night games about that time on unsuspecting friends who deserved a good pay back after last years pranks on us.
When the alarm went off at about 7:00 this morning, both Mark and I could hardly pull ourselves out of bed, and we wouldn't have, but we had previously invited more than 30 hungry mouths (our friends) over for brunch today. Luckily we somehow got all the food ready and the gathering was a great success. The only problem is that now we are expected by those same friends to make it a yearly tradition. I guess sometimes it just doesn't pay to do good...just kidding.

That brunch thing sounds like a great idea. Are we invited next year?

Wow, that does sound like fun, but maybe you should make it dinner next year. I would not want to get up that early after new years eve. I seem to have the same problem with getting old and wanting to go to bed by 9:00.
