Smilin, thanks for starting this post.

Wishing all my friends in our online neighborhood a blessed new year full of the awareness of God's grace.

Smilin, your celebration sounds fun. My son would have loved to be there with his skateboard!

We went to an adult/children party too. The kids are at an age where all of us were in the same room hanging out together. They were all hysterical talking about growing up like it was 50 years ago. They are aged 15-23 and they were reminiscing about playing ball and hanging out at one another's houses, spending the night, and vacationing together. It was fun to see the new generation in action.

Since we're such a partying crowd, we chose to celebrate the new year at 11:00pm, afraid we might not make it until midnight. So we had a little champagne at 11:00 then surprised ourselves when we were all still together at midnight. We watched the ball fall in New York city. Anyone else do that?
