My two favorite new years eves

Last night Arne and I went out to a great party at Dan and Dayna's. We were decked out! Arne wore his tux! Such a nice time drinking champagne, hearing about new years resolutions and eating caviar.

Favorite NYE 1:
2007 - Massive karaoke party at Arne's house. Dad and Nick were on-hand. Nick and I cleared a room with a screeching rendition of Toto's Africa. The Cassoulet was wonderful. People caught all falling champagne flutes just before they hit the ground. Four of us lurched and sang alone in the room on the street until 3AM. Favorite songs: Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini & Love Potion #9.

Favorite NYE 2:
1988(?) - My intact family stayed at the Chattanooga Choo Choo in a train car room that connected to our friend's, the Ramseys. Erin (their daughter) and I played mermaids in the indoor pool (which had a waterfall! and was heated!) for *hours*. We dried our hair on hand dryers in the bathroom of the hotel. We barely could keep our eyes open for midnight. Perfection!
