As the ball dropped, we recorded the passage into the new year
which led to celebrating hordes
and after watching the final moments
we left the teenagers
and the (not so) young adults to celebrate
as chocolate was served
and the remains of the (old) adult celebration were recorded.
Before retiring for the night, I recorded the boys
and then in the morning, I noted that they had moved but were asleep.
This didn't stop us from getting the bacon
and cooking
and drying it
as Sarah cleaned behind
and bacon
and Bailey;s French toast were prepared
as the effort continued
this was my plate
and the plate of another
as we read the message from our new newspaper carrier
and I completed my first (and perhaps only) double crostic of the year.
Sometime later, this was dinner
as Sarah and Suzanne
Matt Traylor
Ben
Jane
Ed
and I
watched the fire wax
and wane
and these photos of me
and Matt Traylor were shot to welcome the new year.
