New Year's Eve...!

I've certainly gotten behind in posting pictures to our blog.. :-( These two pics are from a New Year's gathering at the house our friends, Sherry and Daniel. We played Chinese mahjhong and other board and card games until way past midnight. We also watched the 'Big Apple' drop at midnight, of course. The top picture here is of Ana getting ready to jump down from a chair at the stroke of midnight. This is an old Portuguese family tradition! The idea is that you are jumping into the new year with the right foot, for good luck :-)
