My mom and I decided to have a game night. I invited my friends from my support group and she invited a few of her friends and we talked and ate pizza and played games all night. We're doing it again this year. It's really fun. No alcohol, just soda and cider. And instead of kissing people at midnight, which I've never done, we carry on my old tradition of dragging out all of our pots and pans and yelling and banging them together and waking up the neighbors at midnight. ;) It's a lot better than sitting at home alone watching Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve in my pajamas and eating ice cream or falling asleep. -Michelle What a great idea. I will be with three kids, so there will be some noise as well! What matters is that we are where we want to be- with the people we want to see!

What a great idea. I will be with three kids, so there will be some noise as well! What matters is that we are where we want to be- with the people we want to see! Julie
