cheers to a new year! (late post part 2)

After my afternoon high of shopping and a visit to Wegman's.. Wegman's oh wow, you deserve a post all your own. But moving on, after Weggie's I had to hightail it home to get me and the fam ready to head on over to my parents to start our last minute change of plan NYE festivities.

lobbies preppin'

This year we kept it low key with dinner at my parents. We were most likely gonna do the ole chinese takeout on new years but then my hubby, bless his heart, had a brilliant idea for ... lobsters! Love that man and his unexpected wonderful ideas. We love lobster here at the natador + extended families. So lobsters it was with a few frozen and quick prep side dishes, including escargot. Keepin' it fancy and slimy here. I slugged (bad choice of words huh?) a few of those down, and thought, why do we eat these.. I mean who? how? the whole let's put this in a shell and cover it with a delicious garlic butter? Beats me but I devoured it, I did.

After we were claw cracked out and cleaned up, took some time to just lounge and hang out watching the Dick Clark NYE Show. My mom kept thinking it was an old taping of the 2005 show cause the 2015 glasses looked a lot like 2005. I didn't blame her when I saw Fergie up there. Barum chuhhhh sorry but nah, not sorry. So we hung around for a little while and then played a little hooky after my little pooky bear fell asleep on the couch. My parents were kind enough to just be parents and let us chew and screw to stop by my BFF's NYE party who lives nearby while they watched my boy. I felt a little bad (even though we treated!) but it was nice to get to visit friends and pretend we were on a date. So we stopped by my lovely friends house for dessert and ringing in the new year with bubbly. We mostly chatted and caught up on lost time and promised next get together one of us would have to buy Cards Against Humanity cause of all the rage and cause our reluctant traditional card playing hubbys would just not. Pfff how dare they.

post meal nap (this is his usual bedtime!)

But all in all, it was a great night and we got to accomplish a little of this and that with loved ones. The fact that we were able to stay up till 12 was a feat on it's own!

Hope you all had a lovely New Years Eve!
