This was the first year that Dylan didn’t spend New Year’s with his cousins! The weather was hideous and I think I wasn’t quite 100% recovered from my cold, so we ended up inviting Heather, Assaf, Taliana and Bozsi and Dennis (Heather’s parents) over for dinner and gambling instead of heading over to Cindy’s house as we usually do.
Cameron tried in vain to stay up, but she eventually sacked out around 9 or so. The bigger kids, however, rolled dem bones for us (we played Sharp Shooters, a dice game–oh, wow, and judging by the price, it seems it’s out of print and in-demand!) and played their own games until, finally, it was time to queue up the ol’ computer to watch the ball drop in Times Square (who needs cable when you’ve got a good internet connection??).
Everyone was so engrossed in conversation when the ball dropped, though (!!), we actually missed the countdown by a minute or two. But, we all clinked and “drinked” our Martinelli’s anyway–kids included!
Everyone ready for 2011???
