Happy 2010!

I've decided from now on I need to change my New Year's Eve celebration. My three options are:

1. Keep the kids up until midnight.
2. Go to sleep after I celebrate with the kids (like at 9pm).
3. Actually plan something fun for the adults.

I think I'm pretty darn good at planning fun parties for my kids. Our early (8:30) celebration was really a lot of fun. A dance party, a countdown (downloaded from YouTube), streamers, fireworks, party hats and blowers. Then, we put the kids to bed and all of a sudden I ran out of energy. By the time midnight rolled around, all I could muster was a pretty lame, "Happy New Year's." And, it wasn't even with an exclamation point at the end.

Next year I'm determined to make my celebration just as fun as the kids' celebration. Thank goodness for kids--they really make the holidays extra special :).
