Happy New Year!

Thanks to Kyle, a great son-in-law, we had fireworks for New Year's Eve.  A respectable tribute to our wonderful Danish New Year's Eves.  However, we lit them according to the East Coast's midnight which made it 10.00 p.m. here.  It was a much better time for all of our neighbors who weren't doing fireworks......

 

By New Year's Eve, everyone in our family had arrived for a couple of days together.  On New Year's Day, three were missing, but we grabbed an impromptu photograph anyway,

For years we have had a Holiday Open House for our neighbors. We held it again this year on New Year's Day.  It was honestly pure chaos, but lots of fun to visit with old friends.

 Creative grandkids, ate where they could find a spot....
