Happy New Year!

Welcome to 2009!
-

We conducted our annual Yankee tradition of banging pots and pans outside right at midnight. Our bangs were almost louder than the neighbor's fireworks. Noise on New Year's Eve is supposed to ward off evil spirits.

-Look behind Tom. He said,

"Val, I like what you did with the ferns."

This was Jen's first year banging the pots and pans. She was.... let's say over zealous.

She banged the head off my spoon.

Well . . . you know ya gotta restrain her.
So we finally allowed her to bang a miniature pot.

I know. You're wondering,

"Where was Little Miss Thang?"

She was sleeping in the spare room. She put her shoe as a door stop.
-
Her party shoe. -- She was just sayin'.
