New Year 2011

The Momadonnas decided to have a quiet and relaxing New Year Celebration for 2011….We failed.

The plan was to stay home, relax, eat hors d’oeuvres, and watch a movie. The Professional won (well maybe lost) the coin toss; so we converged on her house New Years Eve. The party started mellow enough with the Minions locked in the basement and the adults snacking in the kitchen. Then the ipods came out (as they ALWAYS do). From that point forward our plans went straight out the window. The kitchen was converted into a dance club and the real festivities began. However, we forgot the kitchen was also where the hors d’oeuvres were baking and soon we were all hot (well… we were already “hot” but this time it was physically not just mentally). Luckily, Ringleader had the idea of opening the back door. As cool air washed in, the dancing migrated to the back porch. This must have made an impression on the neighbors because suddenly a loud “woo hoo” filled the air. There was mass hysteria as bodies dove through the door into the house. Then as the initial shock wore off, The Momadonnas (never ones to let their fans down) migrated back towards the door. There was some discussion about showing the neighbors the Accessory’s “moon” and if it weren’t for the fly swatter incident and The Professional’s desire to maintain a little respectability, we may very well have.

Oh, so you want to know about the fly swatter? Too bad. There are some things that don’t ever need to be in print. Lets just say that it does make a rather loud slapping sound when it hits your rear….

The end result is we all made it to midnight, well maybe 11:15, but we did wake up enough to toast in the new year!
