New Year's Eve

I worked a half day & Wayne worked a whole day on the 31st. That evening, I dropped Mason off at my parents to spend the night so we could go to our friends Casey & Kim's house for their annual New Year's Eve party. It was a lot of fun~I had more fun this year for some reason. Everyone seemed so laid back & we laughed our butts off (with the aid of alcoholic beverages, of course) and it was nice to see our friends for a change.

Last year we started a new tradition-each person brings their worst Christmas present for a dirty santa gift exchange. It was so funny to see all the weird stuff like one of those HUGE remote controls, some nasty grandma-smelling floral lotion, a other things...

I debated whether or not I should post this, but I thought, what-the-heck--it's too funny not to share!!! This is a gift I opened & it was stolen away from me! hilarious.

At midnight, the neighbors really appreciated the fireworks we set off outside...

We got to bed at 2:45am (holy moly) and I did not wake up until 9:30! I had planned to go over to my parents to relieve them of Mason-duty before then. Anyway, I got up & got ready pretty quickly & headed over for my Mom's annual New Year's Day lunch. Wayne kept his sleepy butt in bed and did not attend the festivities. I'll post about the lunch later~I really need to get to bed now. I seem to be on a crazy later-than-usual-night schedule. Mason is too. Maybe we'll get back on track.
Happy New Year!
