So last night, like everybody else, we stayed up 'til midnight to welcome in the new year. At roughly the stroke of midnight, the entire town (small though it is) lit up the sky with fireworks. We watched from an upstairs window, and while the show was much better from our townhouse in Germany, it really wasn't bad!
Shortly before the fireworks started, it began snowing. It didn't stop until about 10:00am today. We woke up to about 6-inches of snow outside! Kimberly and I went for a walk around the village and took some pictures. Then we came home and spent a quiet New Year's Day. -Not like we had a choice...Everything everywhere is closed! :)
While I'm on the subject, I've read a couple of news articles that talked about how terrible 2008 was for everyone. "Worst year in memory for everyone under 70 years old," one story said. Rubbish! I'd just like to say that for us, 2008 was one of the BEST years EVER! -And we are looking forward to an exciting and productive 2009!
Happy New Year everyone...Enjoy the photos.
