Year end means I'm busy as a bee with work, deals often close at the 11th hour and that can mean late hours during Christmas and New Years. Jack is at an age where having a sitter is a great few hours for us and really fun for Jack. We have a few sitters on our list that we have from care.com (which has been really great for us). We were very last minute with our plans since I was in limbo with work, but we ended up still having a really great night and everything came together!
We got a cancellation reservation to Philippe, which is one of my favorite Houston restaurants, yum!
We then came home for a few minutes to make sure I didn't have to save any lives at work (sometimes I think with all the "urgent" or "emergency" emails we get during year end, I might as well call myself a Dr.. ha)
Then we again were so lucky, I reached out to my friend Maura totally last minute and she graciously made us VIP for here:
Discovery Green was packed, I don't even know how many people were down there, but the VIP area (yes I know I like saying that...thanks Maura) was so spacious..and had free drinks and outstanding food!
Oh the yummy food.... this was my favorite..
I might have had two scoops of ice cream on top :)
complimentary glow sticks galore.... I even got to take a few home for Jack :)
and the countdown begins...
ha ha the lights were so bright :)
Kevin and I might have just been going willy nilly...
but it turned out to be the perfect way to ring in our new year!
