Happy New Year's Eve Fun

Gabe planned his New Year's Eve fun all day, a firework display for Dad and Lydia.  He saved the fireworks from the 4th of July leftovers and generosity of friends.

Camera night scene mode made the pyrotechnic display even more impressive!

I took care of the table cheer with my great-grandmother's Best Ever Gingerbread and hot cocoa.

Happy man with the much desired gingerbread.  It is not a grain-free recipe.

Back to fireworks in the frosty night.

That's a good one lighting up the sky!

Raggedy Ann and Andy wish you all a Happy New Year in the warm glow.

Warming up with cocoa.

Gabe got me out in the cold for the finale.

Another beautiful year at a close.  Life is beautiful.  May we all receive life in the Life Giver.  "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."  John 10:10
