New Years Celebration

This year we had quite the new years party. It was actually one of my favorite new years and I didn't stay up past 10:30. We had a dance party with Dad accompanying us on his flute (not pictured).

We started with Fajitas for dinner. Mexican food is not very common in Germany so we had to make our own tortillas. Elli kneaded and rolled her own. She was very proud.



We then played "Birdie Toss"

and Charades



We finished our evening with some leftover Christmas Cheesecake, some Shorle (German fizzy juice) and a few episodes of Bob the Builder. Abby said "Bob" "Bob" for the rest of the night.

At midnight we awoke to the neighbors blastin off fireworks, not just the little ones on the ground, they were the big blossoms of red and green in the sky. All the neighbors had a personal arsonal and they went off all during evening with alot right at midnight. The air all around our house was full of smoke. I am amazed the girls slept through it.
