New Year's Eve

I'm very ready for 2016 to be over. I've never been a fan of New Year's Eve celebration so I'm sure I'll be in bed long before midnight. Here's our exciting New Year's Eve:


Andy sorted through a huge file folder of bills that had accumulated over the past year to decide which to keep and which to take to work and shred. His annual purging has sort of become a New Year's tradition. Apparently, the sweatshirt is also a New Year's Eve tradition.


Lunch was pizza from Blaze Pizza. It's sort of a Subway sandwich shop concept, but for pizza. You choose all your toppings and they make it to order. We had buy-one, get-one-free offers, so we paid for three pizzas (Andy went and took B and L along, who ordered themselves) and got three free. Looked like a pizza party! And since we each had our own pizza, I was able to have mushrooms and green pepper with my sausage and pepperoni.


After a homemade lasagna dinner, it was time for some champagne to say good riddance to 2016. Here's to hoping 2017 is better.


Cheers! (Yes, we had the champagne at 7:15 p.m. We never stay up till midnight and, hey, it's the New Year somewhere in the world.)


L has two friends, T from Naperville and A from school, over who are going to spend the night. They went out for dinner, then came home and fired up some sparklers. Then they opened one of two bottles of sparkling juice ...


... and toasted to a New Year! I'm pretty sure they'll still be up at midnight, and well past it.
