Happy New Year

Everyone coming to our small gathering had an ailment of one sort or another (we are I think all thankfully on the mend now, except maybe Eileen who is a little congested). So, we did not stay awake until midnight (except me). Then the fireworks really started happening. Eileen is not a fan of awakening to cannon fire...but they were beautiful, and it was a great excuse to have a family cuddle.

Anyway, we have some fireworks already saved for next New Years!

Most Dutch who work in offices had the 2nd off -- similar to many in America this year.

The rest of the week was preparing for a party that didn't quite happen (anyone want some leftovers? -- just kidding, we are plowing through them).
