Happy 2012 everybody!<\/h2>\n

\n

I trust you rang in the new year in style?<\/p>\n

I don’t know about you, but our New Years Eve parties are a lot different now than they used to be!<\/p>\n

For starters, I now wear ballet flats instead of stilettos. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Not to mention that getting “all dolled up” takes on a whole new meaning.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The entertainment is different too (but just as loud)!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The countdown starts at 9pm, not midnight.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Snowsuits, not cocktail dresses, are the price of entry to the fireworks show.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

‘Getting lit’ involves\u00a0 a swing set and Christmas lights, not martinis!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And, the disco ball\u00a0 hangs in the basement, not the club.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yes, my friends, New Year’s Eve parties aren’t what they used to be!<\/p>\n

But you know what?<\/p>\n

They are sooooo much better<\/span> than before!<\/p>\n

I wouldn’t trade last night’s for all the parties in my 20s.<\/p>\n

Thanks to our annual hosts, C&J, and all our friends and their kiddies for such a fab night!<\/p>\n

And to everyone else, much love and happiness in 2012.<\/p>\n
