New Year's Eve is such a wonderful night!  My parent's always attend the grand celebration at the Ritz Carlton.  I love watching them get ready for such a wonderful night.  My mother spends hours preparing--showering, doing her hair, putting on makeup, choosing a dress.  I would always sit on her bathroom counter and watch her do her eyeliner and try and put curlers in my hair so I could look like her.  They drink lots of champagne and eat wonderful food.  They always bring home leftovers like lobster and steak and my siblings and I always try to stay up late so we can eat it when they get home.  I love those hours of being with my siblings anticipating the sweet taste of lobster and talking to my parents about how wonderful their night was.
