We spent the last day of 2011 hanging around, doing little projects, and simply being together. McDonald’s for the boys and Lim Fong’s for us. Friends marathon in the dvd player all day. Reorganized my Stephen King bookshelves. Then my favorite part of New Year’s Eve-watching the fireworks from the comfort of our own home.
I love our house. It’s got a lot of great stuff for a family. One of the coolest things about our house though is being able to watch the fireworks from any of our front windows. We sat there saying “ooooh” and “aaah” and for fun, “eew”, “eehh” and other various groaning noises. The boys sat together watching with my hubby and I next to them. This is a grand tradition. As good as the Mummers. With warmth and a decent bathroom only steps away, for me, it’s even better than the Mummers. Plus there’s no crowd.
Happy New Year’s to all! See you in 2012!
