Quin and I went back and forth as to whether to party or have a quiet night at home, we even talked about going to bed before midnight. Then we decided to invite a few couples over to celebrate the first new year in our house. One couple couldn't come because they had to chaperon a dance, another couple wasn't feeling well so they decided not to come. The other couple we invited over had a singles party they were stopping at (they were just recently married and wanted to say hi to their single friends). So about 10:30 I fell asleep on the couch while Quin watched t.v. At 11 Quin woke me up and I called my mom in Utah and wished her a happy new year. Our friends still weren't at our house so I changed into my jammies and Quin sent our friends a text message that we were going to go to bed. As he turned off the outside lights, he said "there's a car outside." It was our friends. So they came in and we started playing this game called "Settlers of Catan." It was so fun. We sat there until 1:30 playing and drinking Martinelli's sparkling cider out of champagne flutes. We barely took thirty seconds to yell happy new year, give our significant others a kiss, toast each other and then back to the game.
Quin and I have made a few new years resolutions, among the usually like get into better shape and stop swearing, we have decided to keep the kitchen clean. We find it so much easier to clean immediately after we cook, but for some reason we always wait a day or so and then it is a lot harder. It's just the two of us, so we want to get in this habit now and that way it will be easier if there are ever more of us. What are some of your new years resolutions?

Swearing? You swear?
My New Years resolution is to do better at house cleaning. Getting dishes done quicker is good too.
You got caught!
Swearing is something I need to give up too, or maybe just spelling words instead of saying them...
Wait- the oldest can spell!
CRAP!
Perhaps a goal to walk the dog more!
Ugghhh...I hate dishes and laundry and tubs!! My resolution is to be better at giving the girls their piano lessons.
Sounds like some of our first New Year's Eve parties. (although ours didn't pick back up later in the night like yours-they were just flops) This year was fun though, nothing crazy but we made it to midnight without having to try too hard:)
