This year, for the first time ever, we attempted letting the kids
stay up with us. It was so great, letting them do whatever they wanted,
with no looming bedtime threat (but always the possibility). We had a
late dinner of lobster rolls and chips. With plain pasta, for those
deciding lobster wasn't their thing. (Jackie and Landon.) (Plain pasta is
always Jackie's thing.) Then we played games and danced and colored New
Year's coloring sheets and watched crazy parties on TV till midnight
(11pm...shhhh), when we watched to ball drop in New York City!
