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!
