Late night

December 31, 2011
To ring in the New Year, we stayed up until 3 a.m. playing Pitch with my parents and Kurtis. Jeff's parents offered to put the kids to bed so we were headed out to party no matter what.

Way too many crackers, cheese, beef sticks, ooey-gooey popcorn, and two games of Pitch later - did I also mention the seven cans of soda and three bottles of sparkling cider later, I was falling asleep with the cards in my hand. Being the designated driver of the group (I was the only one to stay soda and Martinelli sober), I blame it on the lack of bubbly.

It was really fun. Us "old" people know how to have a good time. I'll admit I was hoping for a game with a bit less strategy and more speed - like Hell - but I think I just might have the hang of Pitch now. Although if you ask my Dad, he will tell you my Mom and I have absolutely no clue what we are doing. He's probably right, especially considering he won both games. He even threw out a classic Jenny-late-night-card-game line!

Here's to 2012!
