My co-worker Chris invited us (Dave, the kiddos, and me) to her house for a New Year's Eve Party. We took her up on the offer and had a great time. Dave was a little uneasy with the thought of the kiddos staying up late, etc. but everything went great. Ada is usually always in bed by 7:30 p.m. but that night she rang in the New Year! She wasn't even crabby!! She was sound asleep by the time we got home but you would never have known that she was only one year old and up way past her bedtime! Benjamin takes after us and can be a night owl if you let him. He has never really been a great sleeper--we are so blessed with Ada's sleeping habits! Both kids had a great time playing with Karyne (Karyne and Ada are 3 weeks apart in age) and the other kiddos at the party. There favorite thing to play with lately (the last few months) has been kitchen so they enjoyed playing with Karyne's kitchen. Chris and Vitaliy have two house cats that Benjamin and Ada fell in love with. They would search high and low for those two cats! Benjamin even touched one of the cats. Both he and Dave tell me that we should get a cat. We will have to see about that! Dave and I had a great time interacting with other adults and seeing our children interact with the other kiddos there. It was so nice to include the kids in our evening plans and not have to worry about getting a sitter, leaving the party early, or declining the invitation! Plus, Chris made some awesome food. My absolute favorite were her bacon wrapped water chestnuts! Yummy!!!! Thanks for a great time Chris!! We will have to get together again!
