For this week, since I’m quite curious, post about what you did for New Year’s and what your traditions are each year. Have fun!

New Year's Eve, I had a major meeting/event at the church during the day, so the girls and I were there for about 6 hours.  Then I ran home, changed clothes, and came back for a party.  It was a small party (Sunday School class), but it was fun.  I was seriously wiped out from  the earlier event, though, so I was a zombie.

We played 80s Trivial Pursuit, and I did not do as well as I would've liked.  We ate, we talked, we laughed.  It was fun.  We gathered the kids in right before midnight to watch the Ball drop.  After that, we immediately began cleaning up and headed home as soon as possible.

(Normally, I can stay up till 1 or 2am without flinching; in fact, it's hard for me to go to bed before midnight, but I was really tired that night.)

For New Year's Day, we joined my parents for a traditional meal of pork and sauerkraut.  Yum!  We toasted to the new year with sparkling grape juice and enjoyed the fire in the fireplace.

That's about it!
