Welcome 2009!

New Years Eve with a child is much different than New Years Eve without one. We had two babysitting offers but we decided against it for 2 reasons: The first is that we had such a nice family dinner last year - granted Zach was only 5 months and didnt make a peep, and we wanted to do it again and the second reason is that unless we have a babysitter for the next day ALSO, it just isn't worth it.

So, we had a nice somewhat quiet dinner at Maggianos and then resorted to taking funny pictures of Zach and his fascination with the champagne bottle (or wait maybe it is OUR fascination with the champagne bottle).





The next day we had breakfast in Marina del Rey with our friends Alissa and Greg ( SO good to see you guys) and continued on to Thousand Oaks to see my grandma and family.

My top resolutions for 2009:

To try to "stop and smell the roses" more often - Life is going by much too fast;
Get in better shape;
Stop drinking coffee;
Be a better friend;
And, Eat at the dinner table as a family as often as possible.

Happy New Year. May 2009 bring all of us much joy, health and laughter.
