New Year’s Traditions

Back to New Year’s, which seems oh so long ago now. On December 30th, D and I followed our tradition of going out to eat by ourselves. We do this so we can still spend December 31st with the kids. They are always memorable meals (and we spend a little more than usual). Here’s as far back as I can remember:
2006: Didn’t go out due to our ten day old baby
2007: The Fish Company
2008: The Melting Pot
2009: Agorra Churrascaria
For 2010 we went to Cham Sut Gol for lunch…AYCE Korean BBQ for $13.99!

The service was good, they changed our grill about 3-4 times, I think. We didn’t care too much for the pork belly, but the beef, chicken, spicy pork and brisket were all good. The hot tofu soup that came with it was also excellent, better than BCD in my opinion. They also serve a large salad, rice paper wrappers and radish wrappers to make your own rolls with the meat. Plus, you can ask for rice (free!) which I learned from Yelp. Finally, there is AYCE Thrifty’s ice cream at the end. Needless to say, we were stuffed at the end of the meal. (We had skipped breakfast that morning!)

On New Year’s Eve we followed another tradition that we started last year: we all slept on our IKEA Manstad sofa-bed. Actually, last year, n was still in his crib, since he was only nine months old, so this was the first year that everyone slept on the same bed.


I’m not quite sure why we find this fun, but it is. Wonder how long it will be before the kids need to sleep on the floor while we sleep on the couch. We stayed up for the NY ball drop and then lights were out by 9:30!
