This is how my wonderful sister and her family will be spending New Years Eve...yes in Paris and this is how I will be spending my New Year's Eve not in Paris but in Iowa with 5 - 10 year old boys doing this....
and this is what I will look like tomorrow after those boys have ruined my house and stayed up all night!
My son James turns 10 today so I don't think we will be celebrating like all of you for quite some time.... like when he is 18 and out of the house. Do I really have to wait that long, what have we done? I guess we are just gluttons for punishment and can't get enough celebrating during the month of December....remember Christmas, my anniversary and now a birthday. On the eve of the millennium I was giving birth at exactly 11:00 p.m. and while beginning a horrible contraction and wanting like holy hell to rip the sucker out of me, the nurses all asked if I wanted to wait another hour so I could have the 1st baby born in 2000...yea me! Just kidding like I cared. My husband said I wasn't all that kind but mind you I had been doing this since 5 a.m. and I didn't care how kind I was, it was time. I gave that ugly grin of a smile you give to people when you can't actually call them an idiot and said "just get this kid outta me!"
None the less we had a 9lb baby boy after all that and he has brought us so much joy that I would do it all over again! Well maybe not that awful labor!
Happy Birthday James we love you to the moon and back!
Love Mom and Dad
P.S. I couldn't fix the Happy New Year near Woody, so know that I am wishing you all a Happy New Year. I am so excited to have met some of you and cannot wait for what the new year brings for all of us!

Paris? PAR-IS? poor dear doesn't know what she missed at YOUR home with all those precious boys (who make weird noises and eat like piranha). LOL.
You are too funny. I love your labor story. I also tell my kids that I love them to the moon and back..too cute.
You're so brave having all those boys over. Hopefully you had some champagne nearby. I let my daughter have four 11 year old girls for a sleepover in November and it was torture. Never again. : )
We celebrated at home. I made pizza and we watched a movie. I was in bed by 10.
Happy New Year!!!
Oh, I would love to be in Paris for the New Year. Your sister is so fortunate! Although your New Years isn't as glam, it beats mine. I was in a hotel room with two sleeping toddlers. I ate m&m's, Bugle's, drank Diet Dr. Pepper, and went to bed at 11:00. Fun stuff!
What a wonderful place to be for new years! So glad I've "met" you this year.
Blessing and Happy new year,

Paris on New Years - now that is the way to celebrate! As for you and I...
Where abouts in Iowa are you? I lived there as a child.
As for *believe* - steal away! It is a fabulously inspiring word - you can use it all day long! (I believe I can get this laundry done, I believe I can keep my cool while four boys try and make me lose it, I believe it is okay to have a glass of wine this early in the day...) :)

Paris..sounds so exciting and exotic. We were here in freezing cold Minnesota. But blessed to all be together...happy and healthy. That's sayin' something. Blessings on you this New Year friend.
