Our Laid-Back New Year's

For the first time in a long time, the Grundbergs just hung around the house for New Year's Eve.  We haven't done that in at least 5 years.  Both Steven and I were just too dang tired after Christmas madness to do anything but take it easy with the family.  That's not to say we didn't have a teensy bit of celebratory fun.

At midnight, we popped poppers and did our traditional noise-making and screaming to the neighbors.

Followed by a sedate glass of Martinelli's to ring in the New Year.

Maybe not so sedate.

Gracie looking a tad disapproving at our raucous behavior.

But she wasn't above taking a sip or two herself.

A rather homely-looking (but sweet) New Year's Eve kiss.
