O my gosh!!! My daughter will most likely threaten to disown me (again) for posting this, but how could I resist? (Please help me out and cast your vote of support by posting lots of comments.)
New Year's Eve is typically a non-event for Steve and I. (Steve can barely stay up past 9 pm on a "late night," so New Year's Eve requires an extra-rigorous training schedule of multiple naps before midnight.)
New Year's Eve IS a big deal to Sarah and Rachel. When they were younger, they loved the challenge of trying to stay awake until midnght. They quickly learned that "if you stop, you drop." Staying up past midnight is certainly not a challenge anymore -- except for Steve.
Several years ago Anna (who is also my Godchild) came over for New Year's Eve and another tradition was started. Apparently, Anna is the only one her household that likes to stay up late --- or perhaps it's just that Anna is the only one her house that doesn't need beauty sleep????
Enough rambling. Here's what I found in my camera from New Year's Eve.
(Steve was sound asleep on the couch and I was at the hospital waiting to catch the New Year's baby. I had 2 ladies close to delivery at midnight and then my colleage did a C-section to bring in the first baby of the New Year. I hate cheaters!)
Not bad for amatuers, eh?
Those are some great pearly whites!!!! What fun!! And also a great tradition.
What a beautiful beginning to the New Year!
Looks like fun! LOVE Sarah's surprised expression and the feathery mane! Rachel, you look soooo grown up! Have a blessed 2006!
(P.S. We'll be at LCA's varsity game next Saturday and WCC on Sunday. Hopefully, we'll be able to see you!)
Wow, Sarah how many guys called you on New Years Eve????!!!!!! rachel looks to be as old or older than Sarah. Slow down Rachel!, your growing too fast.......
