You know you officially have no life when.....

you spend your New Year's Eve at a party at the Elk's Lodge where the average age was 70!!!
Luckily, our family was there and we ended up having a blast.

Don had to work so my dad was my kiss at midnight!

Yes, it is true....we really did go to the Elks Lodge for New Years. Don had to work so I was pretty bummed and didn't want to sit at home by myself. My kids go to bed at 7:30 so I knew that there was no way they would be able to stay awake with me, so I hired the neighbor. I waited until they went to bed and so they never even knew I was gone. My whole family was there (minus grams and Don) so we definitely made the most of it. Jeana and Anthony joined us also and the look on her face was priceless when she walked in. That is, until she went to the bar and ordered 3 drinks that totaled $9.00!!!! So, we decided to stay even though there was no karaoke (the cheap drinks made it all worth it). The best part was at 11:00 pm they have this ritual that they honor the old members who pass away. What an experience that was. Thanks to Dave I felt like I was in elementary school, you know when there is nothing you can do to control your laughter???? What a night!!!
Of course my kids did not cooperate...I went to bed at 1:00 am and TT thought it would be nice to wish me a Happy New Year at 5:20, isn't that sweet??

Sounds like alot of fun! You don't have to worry about having a "fun" new years eve outfit! Kelsey took me to a place like that before, but those "old people" know how to have a good time. They wouldn't leave the dance floor!!
