New Year's Weekend Trip to Illinois--Part 2

For the second half of the weekend, we headed over to stay with our friends the Torio's for their annual New Years Eve party, which we have attended every year since I was pregnant with Conor. 


Conor was pretty excited about the festivities...including the sparkling cider at midnight. 
At one point, he said, "It'll be a good drink and fun."
I said, "What will be a good drink? What are you talking about?"
He answered, "You know, that drink called toast!"

New Year's morning--not much room for mom in that bed!!
Both kids made it up past midnight, and Riley was actually up later than Conor...he slept til about 10 and she slept I woke her at 11 so we could leave!
