Happy New Year!

We did not go to Times Square like Pat wanted (I had to promise him we would go next year); however, we did have a lot of fun bringing in the New Year with good friends.

(Julie missing a partner to spell our 2011 with their hands)

For a last minute idea, New Years Eve 2010 was a hit as we ate good food, watched 2010's top YouTube videos, watched New Years Eve parties across the Nation, and got really excited about it turning midnight.

My last-minute Nutella-Covered-Strawberries were a hit, although a bit messy.

Adam and Julie..they crack me up.

It was so nice of Duston and Ali to have us over for some good times,
especially as they just got back from being away for Christmas.

Come midnight we headed up to the roof to yell, scream, and shout about it being 2011.

Pat and I also threw our New Year hat's, that he bought for us,
off the roof and watched people pick them up and wear them.

It took a few tries for pat to actually get his hat off the roof.

It was so picturesque to sip Sparkling Apple Cider while taking in the NYC skyline and watching the fireworks go off in between buildings in Times Square.

It was a fun and casual night (just the way I like it). Afterward, Pat and I walked home amongst all lively bars and drunken people. We saw a few fights, several crying girls, and a lot of stumbling and mumbling people.

Amongst all that chaos, we walked passed this quietly lit street. And I thought...
"This is going to be a good year."
