With a little help from the Virg, everyone was able to stay up for the big super exciting end of the year change over. Virg was expecting some big color explosion emanating from the heavens, large claps of thunder, and Ode to Joy sung by a choir of angles. Instead of all that, Virg got to watch his Daddy and Grandma and Grandpa put together a puzzle. Hey! Don't judge. It's more fun than you think it is; at least that's what we tell ourselves every year. And look what we have to show for our hard work:

The Mommy called up Virg's fairy Godmother and the conversation went as follows:
Mommy: Happy New Year! What fun things are you guys up to?
Fairy Godmother: We're at a fantastic little New York restaurant having a great time with the Godfather's brother and wife, or as we like to call them... 'The Family'. What are you and the Virg doing?
Mommy: A puzzle.
Fairy Godmother: A what?
Mommy: A puzzle.
Fairy Godmother: I'm sorry, this is a really loud restaurant. It sounded like you said a puzzle.
Mommy: Yup, I did.
Fairy Godmother: Oh! Well, what fun thing will you be doing later.
Mommy: The same puzzle.
Fairy Godmother: I'm sorry what?
Mommy: The same puzzle.
Fairy Godmother: ... Your going to think this is odd, but it sounds like you keep saying a puzzle.
Mommy: ... yup.
Fairy Godmother: Well... ok. Happy New Year!
Happy new year!
