January 2009 came quietly and peacefully for us. The whole house was sleeping when the clock struck 12:00. I feel like I'm really getting old. This is the first time in probably 25 years that I haven't stayed up until midnight on New Years (OK except for that one year I passed out at the one and only Schindler party, that was my sister's fault).
All four of us started the night off early by going to dinner at Tommy Nevins in Naperville with Lisa and Greg. We had a fun dinner and some beers then went home to celebrate with the kids. We had some sparkling apple juice in fancy glasses, party hats and streamers. Ten seconds before 8:30 we did a "countdown" to new years and the kids were off to bed! Steve and I had planned on watching a movie but decided we were too tired and would just go to bed. Lame, I know, but if you would be willing to watch our kids on New Years Eve, then I would have no reserves about going out and partying past midnight.
