NYE was really relaxed this year. Went to Teriyaki Madness for dinner. Got drinks and snacks at Wal-mart. Our friend Mel and her baby, Alli, came over. We watched a movie and just hung out. It was simple but fun. Jeff says he refuses to hold a baby under 3 months-- he thinks they're too fragile and will break them. He claims he won't even hold our own child until after 3 months. But I have proof that that is no longer!
