Another year bites the dust! After a few shopping errands (and really not looking forward to our last stop, the grocery store) We decided to stop in at our favorite neighborhood bar/grill for a drink and popcorn. Popcorn machine wasn't on so in my mind I thought "disaster"..... and to the contrary it was one of those beautiful, peaceful, relaxing dining experiences! Those moments that you wish you could freeze and take yourself back to when moments maybe aren't so great. Boys ended up ordering lunch (and actually ate most everything) We had more than 1 beverage (BONUS) - Lance and Dad played some old fashioned tic-tac-toe, dot to dot, and hangman (Thanks Santa for the great games!) And then a regular customer, sitting at the bar, came over and gave both boys their first $2 bill for their excellent behavior - how good does that make a parent feel? And the boys too - Lance was already plotting what he could spend it on at the grocery store. And to top it off, the kids meals came with ice cream - WITH sprinkles - the little things!
The evening festivities were just simple - a couple good friends to hang out with, Grandma and Grandpa stopping by and a few drinks. AND in bed before midnight as usual. But never-the-less a Happy New Year! Always ready for a fresh start.

Deep in thought......
His money and ice cream!
