We spent New Year's Eve in Ramona with Jim, Deb, the boys and another wonderful family. Excellent food, even better conversation - a good time was had by all. And we actually all stayed awake to ring in the New Year. Sadly, I have no photos of the fun event, but I did ask Kels to videotape something on her phone. Jim has a few of the Dept 56 collectible village pieces, including the Times Tower. You can change the numbers every year and it totally lights up and moves! At midnight, the ball dropped (along with the pre-recorded Dick Clark version from New York) and the sign flashed - too cute!
Wishing you all health & happiness, peace & prosperity, luck & love in 2009!
