Last year we hosted a large gathering on New Year's Eve and had intended to do it again this year. Everyone else had a different idea and one by one abandoned us for other things. In the end, it turned out really well. We have hosted so many gatherings this week that it was nice to have it just be us for a change. Dave took the older kids to see a movie and to pick up some treats. We just relaxed, folded laundry and watched TV. Ratatouille about five minutes before midnight. Perfect. We watched the ball drop and toasted the new year with sparkling cider.

Not very exciting but a perfect way to end the year for us.
