We didn't worry so much about cooking something extravagant - we had peppercorn steak. We didn't have to rush around here and there - we stayed home and watched Shrek 2. The boys popped fireworks to their heart's content - about an hour and a half.
We might have started 2 new family traditions this year. Number 1 - watching a Shrek movie every New Year's because it seems all of us find something funny (even Lad) in those movie. I wish you could all hear Brennen's laughter - it makes everyone else laugh. Number 2 - only buying long sparklers. Once we went long this year, I don't think we can go back to the short, puny ones. It saved us a lot of "lighting" time.
We ate a simple meal, watched Shrek with some popcorn, then headed to the driveway to watch the (illegal) aerial show above our house, and pop our own fireworks. It was a really nice evening with just our family and I think most of us welcomed the the new year in our sleep. I know Chyler went down at her normal 8:00pm and slept through all the noise - even the midnight booms.

Happy New Year everyone! Hope your 2009 is a great one!
