New Year's Eve

We had church at 8:00 in the morning on Jan. 1, so we decided to play with the kids and go to bed earlier (10:45). It seemed like such a great plan. Little did I know what New Year's Eve was like here. I was in bed by 11:00 and kept getting woke up by fireworks. When midnight rolled around it sounded like bombs were going off around the city. You could see fireworks all around you in the sky. It made me think of the good old days when I would go out with my cousins and bang pots and pans to welcome in the new year. This was much louder than pots and pans. Amazing enough though my boys slept right through it. I almost wanted to wake them up to see the show. Oh well, I will know better next year. :) Happy New Year Everyone.
