Since we were home for New Years it seemed natural to head up the road. We did fireworks before midnight since it was cold and getting colder, we watched the ball drop at midnight Alaska time, threw streamers at the Ferri's ceiling fan, blew our party horns, sang "Auld Lang Syne" and toasted with cheap champagne. Three of us girls were there and it was great to catch-up with some lifelong friends.
Jonathan watching the fireworks. Last year the noise scared him but this year he was very exctied to watch them.
Can you see his breath? Yeah it was cold, really cold, but he didn't complain at all. What a stud!
He absolutely loved doing the sparklers. He had a little trouble holding on at first because of his mittens but he figured it out.
Life long friends: me, Cheryl, and Anna. Karlan, the 4th girl, was out of town.
Jonathan blowing his party horn. Last year the loud noise scared him and he cried and cried. This year he was so excited to party with everyone. What a difference a year makes.
The aftermath of throwing streamers at the ceiling fan. I think Dan was the only one tall enough to hook any streamers on without standing on the couch. Jonathan stood on his tiptoes and tried toss his to the fan. He tried so hard, bless his little heart!
What was Jason doing while we were all partying it up? Why he was in the other room sleeping soundly on the couch. What an angel!

That is so neat that you and those girls are STILL friends! It reminds me of me and my old neighbors, we are still inseperable when we get back together. I love friends like that! Jonathan looks like he had a blast... and Jason will get his turn hahaha.
