Tabitha remembered last NYE and was adamant that it would be the same this year. So, once again, while my child was in the bath tub, time miraculously fast-forwarded 3 hours and we celebrated midnight with those in the East. Thankfully, MTV broadcasts live, so we watch their countdown and they have a clock in the corner of the screen. Plus we change all the clocks in the house to reflect the new time. At "midnight" we set off poppers and blew our horns and Tabi had a noise clapper that spewed confetti everywhere. We eventually got her calmed down and shuttled her off to bed.

Chris and I then had a quiet celebration of New Year's at the actual midnight.

New Year's Day, we set Tabitha up with the Rose Parade in the morning; she just loves watching parades. After we were all up and ready to go, we headed down to San Diego to spend the day at Sea World. It was chilly, but not crowded and we had a pretty good time. Tabitha hadn't slept well in a 3 or 4 days, so it was a challenging day, but I'm glad we went.

After Sea World, we had dinner at Red Robin and shopped a bit at Target before finishing the drive home. It was all really nice and I'm very grateful that Chris got to spend both days with us.

He's pretty much over his sickness now, but Tabitha and I were both feeling kind of run down yesterday, so we're taking zinc and loading up on foods with protein and Vitamin C. We're both still fine today, so hopefully, no more sickness in our house.
