A Quiet Happy New Year

We started the new year at a friend's house. Their kids and our kids played together non-stop. We had a fire and a few fireworks.





Unfortunately Sparkle kept falling and getting hurt, so we moved the party inside. At one point the kids put together a little singing and dancing show for the grown-ups. At the end of the show, with the music still we joined the kidlets in dancing. It was so much fun. Wander still remembers how to lead several steps and keep his balance.

We put the girls to bed and stayed up until midnight to salute the new year. Then it was time to put ourselves to bed. I'm getting old and slow.

The next morning we had a leisurely brunch of bacon, croissants, eggs, and juice. Then the party moved to our house, where the girls continued their non-stop play. I got to sew some doll clothes. After our guests left, Sparkle crashed big-time, but at least she went to sleep quickly.

This morning Wander took the girls to the park, and I swept and mopped the floor.
