Being the parent of a young child presents certain holiday... difficulties. Like, do you fight a losing battle against a cranky toddler in order to keep him or her awake to ring in the new year with you at midnight? Nope! Not if you are one of the smart Mommies like my friends and myself! Rather, we move up the celebration and get the little ones together for a "Countdown to Noon" party. We met up at our friends Erin & Sophia's house around 11am so the kids could play and we had a little potluck full of snacks and finger food munchies. Then we counted down at 11:59 am and set off poppers and horns at 12:00. The kiddies had a blast and Emma LOVES that annoying paper horn. Man, that thing is loud when it is being blared straight into your ear as you drive down the road! Oh well, New Years comes but once a year. Or, in our case, twice. ;-)
