A Good End to 2006

Our New Year’s Eve plans changed several times in the days leading up to the event, and then changed again Sunday morning when we decided to keep the twins at home, rather than have them spend the night at Carina’s parents’ house. We played Pictionary, which is always a lot of fun with the girls, and then watched some Monty Python’s Flying Circus. I’m delighted that the girls enjoy the humor of Monty Python, and that we can share that together.

Around 10 PM, we decided to watch The Tick, which Carina had received from Netflix. I was a huge fan of the animated show, and had always been curious about the live action series. It’s completely over-the-top, and we all laughed out loud during each episode we watched. The girls couldn’t get enough of the Tick’s zany monologues! (Indeed, they were up early this morning watching the show again.)

We watched the ball drop in Times Square, toasted some champagne, and enjoyed a quiet (and safe!) New Year’s at home.

I’m looking forward to 2007. The girls will turn a decade old. We’re planning a vacation to the Grand Canyon. And there will no doubt be lots of wonderful memories made.
