At least somebody partied on New Year's Eve. Max's friend Eli came over to recreate the rocking overnighter that they had last year. Sandy (sadly) went to bed a little after 7. Kris and I were tired and went to bed at about 10. The boys played games until about 10 and then went and hung out in Max's room until midnight. They claim to have seen the clock change, celebrated and then slept.
The new years comes with or without us awake we've found. And little ones get up at the same ridiculously early hour no matter when mom & dad go to bed. So we're either getting older or smarter--not sure which, but either way we went to bed.

It's smarter, my dear. After a while, you finally realize that most of the glitz of life is only real if you make it happen, and you start wondering if the price tag in terms of energy, health, safety and the next day's functionality is really worth the - "celebration." Why do we celebrate on New Year's anyway, really? It's not like we're suddenly freed of anything - the same bills, responsibilities and illness and problems and challenges wake up with us. Maybe we're celebrating having survived this far? But that really doesn't resonate with me - what's done is done; making it through the REST is my focus. So yeah - smarter is my vote.
