Ringing in the New Year

[ccouch]

So, how did you ring in the New Year? Tell us about it!!

We went to our next door neighbors house for a party. Low key, good food, fun games & lots of fun. Here's the bummer though - - right at about 11:58, our almost 4 year old daughter was bitten by the neighbors' 80lb. Old English Sheepdog. Totally an accident and a first-time ever thing for the dog, but SO SCARY for us. As everyone started counting down for the New Year, I was holding sweet Camille in my arms and checking out the bite marks. It was a very strange start to the New Year for sure!!

She's fine, and it didn't even break the skin, but we were all a little freaked out.

How was your New Year's?

I sat on my big bootie, eating goodies, watching TV and scrapping! LOL

I was at the computer for most of the night... drinking beer and chatting. I hosted a chat over at DST which was a lot of fun. I did take a break early in the evening to beat hubby at a game of Scrabble. :)

At midnight we toasted here in the Kipler household with champagne for hubby and me (sparkling cider for my 3 kids) and watched the ball drop on cable TV.

I was giving some love in the gallery! lol We had the TV on to watch the ball drop, though. MAN, did you see **** Clark? He doesn't look bad, but his voice sounds really old...his face and his voice just didn't match. Whoever has done the last 2 or 3 facelifts for him has really done a disservice to him. :( Poor ****.

We went over to my SIL house and played games, chatted and ate. We almost missed ringing in the New Year because we were so busy playing games. The kids had a blast playing with their cousin.

I hung out here with Darla, Sinead, Paula and the rest of the gang. Scrapping, eating, and watching the festivities on TV. It was the first time in quite a few years that I stayed awake until midnight :giggle: Oh yeah, my DH was around here somewhere too - lol!

My DH, our houseguest, and I went to a friend's house to ring in the new year.

We had a lovely dinner, good wine/drinks (well, i had non-alcoholic as the designated driver), and good company.

We stayed until 1 a.m., and I finally got to bed around 2 a.m.....

*opens one bleary eye*

We watched a movie, the girls fell asleep at around 9:30 or so, and Josh and I stayed up all the way to 10:30 :giggle: We're such partiers :rofl: Oh, and had a bottle of sparkling grape juice.

Wanna know how pathetic that really is? My almost 81-year old grandmother was at her friend's house, and got home at close to 1 a.m. So she partied (non-alcoholic) and we didn't!! :giggle:

[annscraps]

I was wondering how late Charlene was going to stay up! You can always cheat and watch a new year's eve show from a different time zone. That was our original plan for going out to a friends place, but our house is sick - so we just stayed home.

[YvetteSanders]

DH and I both fell asleep watching TV - I think we're getting old LOL!

[Charla]

Ann, that might have worked if we'd thought about it, but there's only one time zone before us unless we wanted to see it in mid-afternoon from England :rofl:.

We did that when I was in Istanbul, though...it was so much fun to watch the ball drop from NYC when the sun was rising for us! (7 hours ahead there)

I watched Noggin with my son and hung out in digi land. It was a nice evening actually.

[Rynonut Mom]

We were still in VT at the time! Actually let Ryan stay up for the 1st time! We were with Michael's sister and her friends, playing Dominoes and having fun!

[Deena]

We were just sitting around with one friend left... everyone else had left early to beat the drunks home LOL

[tamra]

Awww, poor Camille! ;)
I hope she isn't afraid of dogs now... never mind, I know Camille and she will probably think that the poor dog was having a bad day & didn't mean to bite her! She's so sweet :)
