New Years out here

So, what do you do for New Years if 1) you live in a rural part of the Netherlands, 2) you cannot drink yourself stupid unless you stay home. Clearly, the correct answer is loads and loads of fireworks. They are legal from 10am tomorrow to early New Years day. Though, most of the neighborhood has been getting practice in the last two days or so.

I pick ours up tomorrow. We'll have some friends over. Any alcohol party for us is by necessity a slumber party, so we can only invite over as many people as can spend the night in our house comfortably. And, since we aren't 15 any more, we don't count an air mattress as comfort. So, if you weren't invited, it was because we ran out of bunk space -- not because we don't want to see you here!!!!

Happy New Years!!!
