New Year's Eve {2011}

We decided to play hard in San Fran today so the kiddos would pass out early tonight. Mission accomplished. The boys were both asleep by 8:30 and we're about to chill out on the couch, flip stations, eat cookies, watch movies, and probably be asleep by 11:30. We party hard over here. 

Weston basically had all of his dreams come true in one day. He rode on 2 trains {Bart and the trolley} saw 2 fire trucks with their lights blaring in SF, rode the carousal,  and ate a hot dog for lunch. Can it get any better? 

The ride in on Bart was so exciting for Weston. He loved all the tunnels and loved looking out the window.  

The line for the cable car was forever and a day, of course. We took turns walking the boys around while one waited in line. It reminded me why we aren't going to Disneyland anytime soon. 



Totally worth the wait... both of them LOVED the trolley. 


A view of the tree at union square from the trolley. 

Next up... lots of exploring on the piers. Sea lions, crabs, 

the carousal, 

eating our fav mini doughnuts, 

tipping the silver man, 

and chowing down at Gotts.  I swear that place is our go-to.... we should really venture out more but we just really can't. Holdie had his first fry and sucked on this one fry for 20 minutes. Yummo. Time to go to my couch now... happy new year!!

New Year's Eve {2010}

I'm such a sucker for traditions; seriously, it's sad. Fondue on Christmas Eve is my family's tradition so when we missed it... I knew I had to do it on New Year's Eve. Maybe it's just my pathetic way of making sure I get to eat fondue once a year?

We had Michelle, Jeremy, and Brayden over and we partied it up till 9 pm. Don't be jealous.


The little boys loved the fondue and Weston was extremely interested in the the sharp fondue spear. No, I'm not surprised.

I made some fun banners to put around the house. I found them here and here. Quick, easy, and cheap... maybe I'll add them to my tradition list {kidding}.
Brayden and Weston found a new level of hyper that night which was strangley interesting to watch. Maybe it had something to do with the pot of chocolate fondue and marshmallows? Here's to a new year!
