Happy New Year 2013

We're a late family anyway, so keeping the kids up until midnight was not remotely hard. We went downtown where they hold a New Year's concert every year. This year we had the pleasure of a Rolling Stones cover band. "Mick Jagger" alone was worth the price of admission. (It was free.)

He took his job very seriously. I think I saw him in three different shiny shirts, and he damn near perfected his little chicken strut. Amazing.

The girls were amused with huge bubbles and noise makers, and I'm starting my 2013 with bruised feet because I just can't do dancing all night on five-inch heels anymore.

Without further ado, though...I give you 2012-2013, Gainesville style.

Noisemakers!

Bubbles:

Dancing:

And take one:

Come, on, kids, pretend.

That's better. Jeez.

Happy new year!
