THE BALL HAS DROPPED!!

This year we decided to brave the real NY New Years Eve! Which meant standing in a crowd of people for 10 hrs. No leaving, no drinks or backpacks because of security and no restrooms. We had a blast! I will admit the first 8 and half hrs. of standing were not the most exciting and at times I wasn't sure if Kirk was going to make it through, but he did and in the end we were both so glad we did it. We had a really good view of the ball, were close to the stage, and had great people around us. It just so happened that where we were standing was right by where all the cameras went by. The last hour and half we had fun getting on the cameras! For those of you that missed us, we were on CNN a few times and on the kissing cam on Fox. The most fun was hearing from our families that saw us!





We saw sexy Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin









To pass the time the jumbo screen would have this game like whak-a-mole that you could dial in on your phone and play so Kirk did that to pass the time and on his first try he got FIRST PLACE!!! Woohooo! The numbers in the first place spot are the last 4 digits of Kirks number!








HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

I am a little jealous! That sounds like an awesome New Years Eve! Aaron and I thought about making a trip up to NYC for the big celebration. We didn't know you were staying there for the holiday. Plus plane tickets were not the best price. :(

BooHoo! We tried to find the replays on CNN.com and couldn't find them. So sad, wish we coulda seen you. BUT, so glad it was so fun, and we're impressed with Kirk's phoning skills. :) Way to represent yo!
