When Braden became old enough to understand New Year's Eve, we began moving the clocks forward, holding our own early New Year's Eve celebration, and going to bed by 10:00. Once he learned a ball dropped in Times Square, it became a bit trickier. We contemplated taping the previous year's celebration and adding that to our treachery, but were thwarted by the addition of the year on top of the ball. We have therefore resorted to playing games until 10:00, when everyone must brush teeth, don their pjs, and gather for a movie. Everyone's asleep by 10:30.
If you come to visit over New Year's, you can join in our celebration. Only you will find we added one more frivolity this year... a polar bear jump into the pool. You may think it doesn't get cold here, but it does. And that pool was cold! There are no exemption for visitors, only non-swimmers.
Happy New Year!
