hello 2007!

have you wondered how parents of a toddler who has a bedtime of 8 o'clock spend their new year's eve? well, this is how...

First Night is an arts and culture event that's put on in various cities all over the u.s. to celebrate new year's. we are lucky to have a first night program in our community. that's where we headed on the night of new year's eve. it was incredibly affordable and so much fun! lucas had a blast with carter at the kids' part of the event where he jumped around in a big inflatable bouncer for the first time, got his face painted (it's supposed to be a frog, in case you can't tell), slid down an enormous inflatable slide, climbed a rock wall, and starred in a video! (we'll try to get the video out here so you can see him in action.) after first night, we rang in the new year with sparkling cider, sparklers, poppers, and, of course, good friends. happy new year!
