Happy New Year from Prague!

For the first time ever, we think, the girls planned and took a nap on 12.31.  Their big plan was to celebrate New Years in Prague, stay up all night watching movies and tv shows, then celebrate New Years by watching the ball drop in Times Square in NYC.

The nap happened as planned, we made dinner in the apartment around 11pm then walked over to the Charles Bridge just before midnight.  It was crowded but not overwhelming, meaning you could still walk around people.  Police were stationed at each statue on the Charles Bridge to keep climbers away.  At midnight fireworks were set off in all directions around the bridge and throughout the city.  It was fun and beautiful!
on the tv... New Years predictions for 2014!
We came back to the apartment, watched Hitchcock's Vertigo, we've been trying to introduce the girls to the classics, watched a Modern Family, then everyone but Audra fell asleep.  The alarm went off at 5.30am.  There was a mad search for a live broadcast online from NYC and had to wake Gabby and Sofia from a dead sleep.  Unfortunately, even though Sofia's eyes were open, she does not remember watching the Times Square New Years.

We all happily went back to bed until noon.
