We spent New Year's Eve at Dina and Rich's house, where Rich cooked for everyone and everyone managed to stuff themselves silly because we had all eaten way to many appetizers before dinner. I think he thought it was a catering gig with the amount he cooked. Do you see the size of that pot?? He made yummy pasta with sausage and peas in a cream sauce. That's a good way to end the year, don't you think? 
My culinary task was to help Nicolas make the Santa cupcakes. A work in progress. 
"I think it needs one more marshmallow."
Lyla was an official taste tester. She approved. 
We tried to get a group shot near the tree. Nicolas is nowhere to be found. Lyla crawled away in the blink of an eye. 
Where did everyone go? 
Playing under the table with her best bud Nicolas. 
Battle of the pacifiers. 
The boys watching football. Mark gave me an incredulous look when I said "Oh, there's football on New Year's Eve?" 
And later in the night, chatting about some light subjects. You know, religion, politics, terrorism. Fun party talk. 
A happy Nana.

Almost time! Can you tell this is past my bedtime? 
Chrissie woke up about 3 minutes to midnight. 
Happy New Year from two very tired parents. Oh how things change in a year! What a great 2009!
