We spent New Year's Eve with David, Carrie and Trey (well...we didn't really see him since he was already in bed). We drove from Lebanon as soon as Chad got off work and got there just in time for dinner - Carrie prepared a great meal and David provided the wine and champagne as well as a little wine lesson. As you can see from the pictures, Chad wasn't exactly the life of the party. On the other hand, Sophie stayed up the entire time and brought in the new year with us. She had slept in that morning and then took a long nap in the afternoon (for once on her own without me even holding her to get her to sleep) and then slept the entire way to Knoxville. Carrie's friend, Rachel was also there for the celebration and just by chance we all had on blue shirts (Carrie and Rachel had on the exact same shirt).
We left just after the ball dropped and headed to our cabin in Dandridge. We stopped at the Pilot on "the strip" just before we got on the interstate in Ktown to get Sophie's milk. I was on the phone with Amber but noticed Chad was having a conversation with the cashier and he was obviously amused. When came out I asked what was going on. The guy checking him out was overly excited about waiting on him and asked how his new years was and Chad said fine and then awkwardly asked him how his was knowing that he was working at the Pilot and didn't expect that it was that great. His response was, "well I'm here, strike up the band!" This was said with a sassy hand flip up in the air. Imagine this coming from a larger, tall, goofy looking guy with a feminine voice. You just have to hear Chad tell the story to make it funny...sorry.
