Practice New Years Party

We went to my parents house on Saturday night for a "practice New Years party". Really, I think they had the party then because New Years Eve happens to be in the middle of the week. Most of my family was there and some of my parents friends they have had for over 30 years and new friends they have met since moving to their new neighborhood....even the mail-lady and her husband. Lots of food and drinks makes for a fun party! For all of you that don't know me as well....I am not much of a drinker any more, but this night I actually drank alot. I had a blast and this party reminded my brother and me of a party they had when we were kids. The music blasting from the speakers and people singing to the songs. When we were kids, I remember this party where they blasted Paul Simon's Graceland CD or tape, not sure which is was back then. All of the partiers were outside singing in the night to the songs and dancing around. I loved it and it's always in my head. So fast forward to now and my parents finally give us a party that reminds of how they used to party. My mom and Marty singing into their fake microphones and dancing together. Mark and my mom singing along and even my grandma (she's 89) singing and dancing. It was a lot of fun. My dad even told me "you are a lot of fun to party with"!!! Oh so funny! Steve and I had a great time and even though we have been together for 8 years he had never seen this side of my parents.
