Happy New Year


It’s been a few years since I was up till 12:00am to ring in the New Year.  I can’t think of a better way to bring it in than to be surrounded with family and friends (just wish it was our whole family).  Last night with family and a few good friends, we dressed up in our finest ski pants, mittens and toques and raced each other down the hill in saucers and sleds till almost dark.  After refueling ourselves with lots of food and of course dessert with chocolate as a main ingredient (thanks Sherri), it was off to our garage on the mats for a friendly game of spoons.  It amazed me how much a person’s adrenaline can rise in a battle for a plastic spoon.  After loads of laughs it was onto the next game which tested memory.  I can honestly say that the pressure of trying to avoid being hit by a rolled up newspaper, does not make a memory work faster! 

As demented as this evening may sound it was absolutely wonderful.  Surrounding ourselves with people we love and enjoy can make the simplest of activities full of more laughs and amusement than one could imagine.  What a great way to start 2013.  Happy New Year everyone!
