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.
