This Here Is The New Year

This New Years promised to be like noneother. The past few we've spent the new year sitting on a couch sipping some wine, champagne if we felt ambitious, watching wannabes talk about how the new year ball is made of the worlds finest Waterford crystal and pearls digested thru a sperm whales belly and have Dick Clark drool off another countdown. But this year, with Mike & Andrea down, we figured we'd go all out, or all out for us anyhow.

Mike & Andrea prepared another delicious dinner, this time curry chicken.



We planned on having taquitos, so this was an upgrade.

We had a few drinks and for a while there feared whether or not we'de make it to the midnight festivities. This is the girls with 3 hours to go. Outlook bleak.



We decided to get the party started early and shoot some fireworks off in the front yard. We hadn't realized how cold it had gotten so shooting the fireworks had to be done in sessions so we didn't freeze. Mike was master of ceremonies.










Took a little time to get them going with the cold wind and all but... they went.







And this... this here, is the new year.



Happy New Year Everyone! We're gonna start stockpiling illegal fireworks now so if you don't know what your doing next New Years Eve... you know where the party'll be.
