We rang in the new year like the party animals we have been in the past - with some fireworks on the street around 7pm! (In our defense, we were planning to wait until later but the kids all got together and coerced the parents outside)
Fun with sparklers first...
...then on to bigger bangs.
Then we sat back and enjoyed the real show. As much as I hate listening to fireworks for weeks, it's pretty fun watching the displays all as far as we can see.
Finally, we finished up with the kids' favorite part - the burning of the trash. Technically not in our neighborhood codes, but it had just rained a few hours before so we let them go bigger.
And go big they did! They emptied all of our recycling boxes from the garage and enjoyed every minute of it.
The aftermath. Another successful celebration in the books.
It's hard to believe another year has come and gone so quickly but 2016 was a happy year for our family. We're looking forward to 2017 and wish our loved ones all the best!
