To all our family and friends: We wish you a very Happy New Year!
It's just after midnight and I'm listening to all the fireworks going off around these parts. lol! Back in Pennsylvania, no one really celebrated the New Year with fireworks...so this has been interesting. (This and the 4th of July!) Anyway, we actually went to our neighbors for a little while to watch them light up a bunch of fireworks.... they lit them early so neighbors could sleep. We said goodbye, and got back at 9pm to begin a Wii fest for several hours. Then onto Pictionary Jr., which my team (consisting of me and ds1) lost twice. Bummer....but we fought hard!
We ended the evening as I did, when I was a kid. You may think this odd....but when I was little, my mom and dad used to wake my sister and I up at around 11:40pm. We would head down to the living room and watch Dick Clark ring in the New Year in Times Square. When that ball dropped we would have pans and spoons, and we would make as much noise as we could! lol! So, that is what we did this year at midnight. The boys loved it of course...banging those pots as loud as they could, and laughing! It actually brought up some emotions as I cherished that my boys were taking part in a similar experience to what I had as a child. :-)
Happy New Year 2008 to everyone!!

We used to do the pots and pans thing too!!! The only difference is that when we were younger we would have "midnight" at 8:00pm (they would set the clocks ahead so we thought it was midnight). I'm so glad you had a great New Years Eve! Happy New Year to you and your family! :-)
Happy New Year to you and your family.

Happy New Year!! I love your tradition of banging pots and pans - we may have to start that one. We used to go outside at midnight and honk the car horns for a minute!! Of course in Orlando that was acceptable. Here in these quiet parts I think we may give the neighbors a heart attack if we did that!!
Oh, that sounds like fun!
How neat that you are sharing that fun with your boys.
