Life with Lucy, Alice and Evelyn: On to 2013!

Tonight is probably the most uneventful New Years Eve I have ever had (as you can tell, I'm blogging about it already!). We were not able to find a sitter and now Josh and I are both sick with some yucky virus. Do you know how hard it is to be a sick parent? (especially when both are down?). We are taking shifts with Evelyn....the older two are self-sufficient.......We are both ready to feel better and hope that the New Year brings temperatures down and rids our house of germs!

The girls did go to our club's 'new years eve eve' party last night, which was SO wonderful for kids! A magician kept the kids thoroughly entertained for an hour while the adults mingled. Then there was a dinner and karaoke! Lucy had been practicing her Taylor Swift songs for days! Lastly at 8pm, there was a countdown complete with horns and a balloon drop...the kids LOVED it!

Despite tonight being uneventful, I am spending it with my loved ones so in a way it couldn't be more perfect! Alice helped me set a 'fancy kids dinner' she called it....then we had brownies and sparkling grape juice! To top it off, they are having a 'sleepover' in our great room and are watching a movie. Josh and I are already curled up in bed (yes it is not even 9pm) but some Advil and sleep never sounded so good!

Happy New Years to you and yours!
