dinner and sparklers

Last night we had a lot of fun. One of our pastors and his family came over for dinner and sparklers. Some of the food we had was little sausages, chips and a layered dip, lamb on the grill, crab salad, smoked salmon, dips and lots of other yummy stuff. The kids had a great time playing with the girls and then after dinner we lit the sparklers and threw those snap pop things. Even though our sparklers are only about 3 inches long it was fun.
At the new year there were fireworks all over town. It was a cool sight from our terrace. You could see fireworks from every direction. I am so glad the kids didn't wake up from it.
So we decided not to go to the church service last night because it started at 10pm and our kids would be CRAZY if they stayed up that late. There is no tellin how long that service lasted.
Today we might go for a bike ride since there will be less traffic on the roads. Yes it is a holiday here and everything is closed. We celebrate every holiday you can imagine. It is nice sometimes. We are thinking about going to a park this week. Who knows. I am probably going to order some long sleeve clothes online today. It is starting to get cool here and since we had no idea it would get cool, we have very few clothes to stay warm at night. It is mainly cool at night and in the mornings.
Okay i am in need of some more coffee so this is all for now.
love you lots and remember I was here first!... in this new year :) ha... i crack myself up
