to fondue or fondon't...that is the question.

I think we have started a new new year's eve tradition and you know how traditions make my heart happy! the boys LOVED dipping all sorts of yummy treats into the vats of cheesy or the chocolatey goodness.

we snuggled everyone who didn't meet the 5 foot height requirement into their beds by 8pm and then played a game or two before needing to get up and WAKE up in order to ring in the new year.

two pregnant mommas make for quite the exciting evening. (and if you're wondering...yes that IS sparkling juice...oh how I missed my bottle, er glass, of champagne!)

we seriously considered counting the live east coast ball drop celebration as "good enough" so that we could be home and tucked into bed by 11:30. alas, we decided to tough it out and ring in the ACTUAL new year surrounded by those we love.

one extra little buddy decided to join us at about 11:45. he wasn't too awake, but took notice of the man hosting the times square celebration in a pair 2012 boxers. out of nowhere miles says, "that man is only wearing his underpants!"


we welcome 2012 with open arms and great anticipation for the arrival of our third child. it's bound to be a GREAT YEAR!
