We celebrated with the Crosbys again for New Years. This is the first year since Delaney was born that we have done it child free! The girls went to Grammys and Steve and English's kids went to her sisters. They came over to our house for appetizers and drinks and our big plan was to go to the First Annual Famously Hot New Years downtown. The headliner was George Clinton!!!! Well....the plan seemed good. We headed downtown to find LINES of people waiting to get in. We waited in line and then split up and waited about 40 minutes to get a glass of champagne. We couldn't see the stage because we were like a bunch of sardines. The people there were very nice, mostly middle-aged black men in leather jackets, but it was MUCH too crowded. The news the next day said 20,000 attended and it was in a two lock radius!!!! We never saw the music because we got out of there before it turned midnight. We ended up having an awesome time as we always do with Steve and English but wish the festival would have been a bit better. Randy did some fireworks at home which he has been dying to do so that was good. I know we will spend it with them again next year but unless they change the festival to a larger space, we will probably vacation again with children. Either way...we love spending time with Steve and English. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
** No pics from festival because it wouldn't have been too exciting to see mobs of people and no stage. Guess I probably should have captured that though......
