Writer's Workshop - New Year

How did you bring in the New Year?

Last year we brought in the New Year
in New York.
So how does one top that?
You don't!
You just bring it on!

We spent NYE
back in Dar
unsure what we were going to do. 
That's where great mates come to the rescue.
Friends of ours have 3 kids.
And they weren't keen on doing something
that meant being away from the kids
for the entire evening.
So they decided to have a little get together at their place.
The kids would have a Wii Dance party
and we would relax.

Well, 
apparently the Wii party
was for all ages.


After we were exhausted from dancing,
and sweaty,
the kids watched a movie
and we went to sit on her roof top
enjoying some wine.

Last year,
Ethan fell asleep before midnight.
This year he was up.
But fireworks were banned in Tanzania
so at midnight we streamed the fireworks from
Sydney, Japan and Dubai!

Oh, 
and we had a little sparkle.


And the kids got some 
non-alcoholic bubbly.


And while it was a quieter NYE
it was perfect.
Just perfect.

I think you know how to have a party no matter WHERE you're bringing in the New Year! I admit though, I'd love to celebrate in NYC one of these years!
