Invited to Party

I see so many pictures of friends attending glamorous parties on New Year's Eve, beautiful dresses, fancy suits, and glittering lights.

And we were invited last night to a fun party. In fact, we've been invited the last 2 years in a row by good friends who want to include us.

But somehow, we've declined. Alright... it's so true that we would love to at a fun party with our fun friends. But... we've got these 3 little babes who always affect our thought process. Always. ALWAYS!

It would be so fun to have an adult evening ringing in the New Year like I see in all sorts of pictures of friends, or even in 8 million movies who make this evening seem so glamorous.

But for now, our 3 little babes still like us (somewhat). They still want to hang out with us and stay up late. They still enjoy popping balloons filled with fun activities. They still smile and laugh through the night while we are exhausted. They are going on partying hard thanks to a mixture of sugar rush and adrenaline, while watching the clock trying to figure why we didn't set them forward like we had talked about doing the years before.

So... for now, we will continue to have fun with our 3 babes, ringing in the New Year, while wearing comfy pants and my Cheers sweater, dreaming of beautiful dresses, fancy suits, and glittering lights.
