NYE

We decided to invite a couple of our friends who live in our neighborhood over for a New Year's Eve dinner. Crystal (who works with me) and her husband Conor and Julie, her husband Justin and their baby daughter Monroe (who we met through Crystal and Conor). It's so nice that they both live just a few streets down from us. It was a little bit of an impromptu get together, but worked out nicely! I picked up some fresh crab from the asian market, Julie brought over s0me ribeyes and twice baked potatoes, and Crystal brought over a yummy white bean salad, roasted carrots, and cheesecake for dessert. We had our surf and turf dinner before the kids got too cranky. I put Colson to bed around 8:30 and Monroe followed at about 10. We got in a game of Apples to Apples before Monroe woke up ... and she was ready to party! She actually made it past midnight and got to watch her dad and Nick play with some fireworks in the backyard :)
