Happy New Year

My little sister, Amanda, was here for New Year's Eve with her boyfriend, AJ. We had so much fun. We had dinner at an Indian restaurant. Neither Amanda or AJ had ever eaten Indian food before so that was an experience. Then we took the light rail downtown to watch the fireworks. Denver does their fireworks display twice on New Year's Eve: once at 9:00 for families and once at 12:00 for partiers. We went down for the 9:00 one. Dan loves fireworks so I knew we couldn't miss it! While we were waiting for the fireworks, we went to ESPN Zone and played some games and hung out for a while. Noah loved being able to run around all over the place and thought the fireworks were really cool. The ride home on light rail was kind of a nightmare because so many people were leaving at once, but they really did a great job of managing all those people and it definitely could have been worse. Noah didn't go to bed until 11:00!!! Then we all actually stayed up and rocked in the new year with Ryan Seacrest, Dick Clark, and Carson Daly. All in all, it was a really fun night and I am so glad Amanda and AJ were able to be here for it.
