For New Years Eve, a couple of the girls and I put together a last minute party at our community clubhouse. We had good food, Wii, Rock Band, games, a bouncy house for the kids-which Jeff and I inherited (thanks Jodie-it's THE greatest!), Martinelli's, and most importantly-lots of good company. All was splendid until the clubhouse alarm informed us of it's closing hour at 10:30pm, an hour and a half before the main event was to take place. After the local police crew showed up, some officer bribery, and an attempt to muffle the alarm with a baby blanket, we moved the party to the next destination and continued in our celebrations. Cheers to 2009!
