A slight misrepresentation of my night lol!
Well, Peeps! 2016 is here finally! I am guessing there are plenty of sore heads, some probably haven’t even risen yet!
So, what did you do?
It wasn’t a particularly eventful New Years eve for us… We stayed in, with the children, at my in-laws house, patiently counting down the hours, then the minutes until midnight… Wished Happy New Year to each other then watched the London Fireworks on TV!
Yes, I am such a party animal! I shall start with the regrets…
Now, I can’t really say regrets, but the slightly less positive things… I wish we were able to go out with the kids somewhere, to show them how New Years Eve can be celebrated, instead of in front of a TV set, with not much atmosphere around them… And much as I love fireworks, I hate the fact that at nearly 1am, when most families have finally managed to get their children to sleep after the cacophony of bangs from the Midnight fireworks, someone decides that it’s a great idea to set not one, but about 100 fireworks off! Sonu Singh was terrified and Lil Princess could not sleep at all!
But there are great positives too! It is always wonderful to bring in the New Year with the ones I love. My Hubby Dearest, mu rock, and my darling little people, Lil Man and Lil Princess! Having my in-laws around was lovely, but I missed my own parents, so we called them at midnight! I missed having my own brother and sister-in-law around, and my brother-in-law and his wife around too. I was glad we were sat in the dry and warmth of our house, instead of the cold of the outside!
We ate our final takeaway of 2015, and can steer away from too many of those this year, but hey, no resolutions here, as I am pretty sure that despite my good intentions, Hubby Dearest won’t be able to help himself!
The kids woke this morning at 10am, and everyone is happy and refreshed! We are off to the Gurdwara to give thanks to God for all he has given us, and to wish for a great 2016, then off sale shopping!
How did you celebrate last night?
Have a wonderful 2016 peeps!
But I Smile Anyway...
