Happy New Year!

Because we seem to catch every cootie known to man I was of course sick on New Years but we still were able to bring in the new year right. Max is adorable, of course! But I taught him how to say "Happy New Year" and he ran around the house chanting his version of it all day. Yet again I worked but since most things happen in the evening we were still good to go. Max helped me make a cake when I got home and we got the house ready to party. After dinner we had our ball drop at home and rang in the new year with cake and sparkling cider. No one can tell me the Brown's don't know how to bring in a New Year! It might not be as glamorous as it used to be but it sure the heck is more fun.

 Jeff rig'd up our balloon drop. And since I sprung it on him it turned out pretty good.
