Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year 2009!!

We had a great time celebrating the New Year!!  We got together with some great friends and started the evening with a fabulous dinner at Pappadeux Cajun Restaurant!  We have gone here with a big group of friends 4 out of the last 5 New Year's, and once again, it did not disappoint!  The food was so good, and we had plenty of designated drivers this year (4 of us are pregnant!!) so the boys got to drink plenty of good wine for all of us!!  

After dinner, we went home to pick up Austin (Grandma and Grandpa babysat him for us while we went to dinner, thank you guys!!) and then headed over to the Putz house for their annual New Year's party!!  It was a lot calmer this year with so many of us pregnant, but we had a great time and even Austin managed to stay up to ring in the New Year!!

Part of our group at dinner in the "wine room!"  We get to sit in the wine cellar, closed off from the rest of the restaurant, it's the best place for dinner!!

Getting ready to start the countdown to midnight!! Austin was so excited to stay up and had a lot of fun celebrating with us!
