But we had a lot of fun. Four of my favorite people came over!The Whitakers and the Clarks arrived about the same time, but upon arrival the men seemed to remember things they needed back in their homes, so they left us ladies here to have a shortened ladies' night out. And we really did take advantage of it--painted our toe nails! And it took the perfect amount of time, too, as we were just finishing up when the men returned.
Then we set i
nto a great game of Puerto Rico, which I'd never heard of, but Marissa, who brought it, did a great job of explaining and guiding us all along the way. Ultimately, Erin blew us all out of the water. But I'm looking forward to playing again some time 
to show who's really boss!We missed the ball dropping, by a minute. Someone noticed or had been paying attention to the time, and at about 11:57, asked if we had any pots and wooden spoons, then Marissa started pouring the sparkling cider, but we weren't all coordinated and with the tv on until exactly 12:00 by which time the ball was down. But at least we rang in the new year ourselves on time! Who needs New York anyway, right?
