Celebration
This evening as the ball drops in New York City’s Times Square, I will be spending time surrounded by my family. We will attempt to wake the kiddos before the stroke of midnight and they will likely be too crabby to enjoy the clanging of the pots and pans that will take place to ring in 2019. Within the 20 minutes after midnight we will gather our things and scurry home. Our late partying days our over but we always make the effort to stay up until midnight.
One tradition that we always observe is writing down our top memories of the past year and what we are looking forward to in the new year. We have been keeping this tradtion for many years. It is always fun to look back and through the years and see what our memories were and what we were hoping to accomplish.
I look forward to the new year and I hope that you do as well! May 2019 be your best year yet.

Bringing in the New Year with my family has been a long tradition. I remember the days my gram would be watching us with Dick Clark! At midnight we always ran outside to bang pots and pans! I try to remember to do that every year. It’s a fun tradition our kids will always have!
