Adios, 2008!
Hi guys, I hope you all have fun New Year’s plans. Speaking of which, what are your fun New Year’s plans? Do you have any NYE traditions? Tell us!
Tonight, we’re going out to eat somewhere and then popping open some champagne at either midnight or 9:30, depending on how tired we are. Whee!
For fun, here are some of my favorite posts from 2008. Enjoy!
January: The one where Jason made me bleed
February: The one where we acted like 8-year-olds
March: The one with the naughty mushrooms
April: The one where Jason gets a toothpick in his knee
May: The one with the stalker cardinal. (By the way, this bird is still doing this to Jason’s parents!)
June: The one where the week never ended
July: The one with the mustachioed cats
August: The one where we add to our nutty family
September: The one with the little things that make me happy
October: The one with the quarter-hoarding rednecks
November: The one where Jason thought I was the dog
December: The one with the death-desiring squirrel
We’re making dinner with a couple of friends. It should be fun! We haven’t done this for NYE before.
Happy New Year!

No New Year’s Eve traditions, but we do have a New Year’s Day one… My family goes to the beach and us four girls go in the water (less if one of us chickens out)! Water temp. in winter in SoCal is 53 to 57 F. It’s not a “polar bear plunge” because three of us wear spring suits (short wet suits) and one of us has a full wet suit. But it’s fun nonetheless.

We always spend NYE with the same group of friends, but I don’t know if that’s just coincidence or a tradition. I am hopeful to even stay awake till midnight tonight. DOUBTFUL!
PS, my fave post of the year is the toothpick’d knee.

We go over to our friend’s house and celebrate. We have been getting together with 2 other couples, for over 30 years now. Each year we take a photo. The photos of late don’t have all of our kids any longer, but they are still fun to see how we have all grown: bigger, older, greyer, etc.
Then at midnight we take pots and pans, go outside and wake up all their neighbors. Last year some of the neighbors joined in the fun and it made for a lot of noise.
Then we all go out to breakfast on New Year’s day.
Happy New Year to all!

I don’t have any recent traditions, but one of my favorites from back in the day was my sister and I banging pots and pans at midnight for all the neighborhood to hear. Looking back, I’m sure we were the most loved kiddos on the block. Heh.

I love the monthly best-ofs. I did mine with blogs *and* photos. HNY!

My favorite is the Stalker Cardinal. I still go back and read it from time to time when I need to laugh.
