As mentioned in the post below, we had a great start to our New Year's by attending a fireworks celebration as a family. It was kind of entertaining to see several younger children, all extremely bundled up, scrambling around at -20F onto a huge snowpile to view the fireworks being shot off in the adjacent Bethel FD lot.
Later that evening, 3 of our 4 children had elected to go to bed. The remaining child wished to accompany me to a bonfire, cookies & cocoa get-together in town (several of HER friends were there - amazing how social a 4 year old can be!). We did that, and I rang in the New Year with a 4 year old girl at my side, in -20+ weather with good friends around.
We took off to go look at the fireworks at the river, and enjoyed that. A private citizen collected money to put on a good show for Bethelites... we actually contributed a little to that, so it was fun to go "participate in".
At that point, my kiddo was more than ready for home and fell asleep in the car on the way. I piled her into bed, did a little maintenance work around the house while making sure she was asleep, and joined her myself!
So far, the New Year is treating us well.
