Yesterday Jeff took the kids to First Night Burlington. They had a great time and the weather wasn't too cold. The big highlights were Circus Smirkus and the fireworks. Here are a few shots he took from his phone.
Rent McCoy's Juggling Show
Circus Smirkus
I stayed home and organized the house. I'll show you some pictures in a few days when I'm all finished. Of course, not having been in my house before, you won't appreciate just how organized it is. I should have taken some before and after pictures.
Now, this might not seem like a great way to celebrate the New Year, but I enjoyed being in the peace and quiet of my home alone with my thoughts. And there's something about transitions. . .new year, new season, beginning and end of school year. . .that makes me want to organize.
Hope you had fun celebrating the New Year!
Looking forward to anew year of blogging from Jane.

Sounds like a great way to start the new year, for everyone in your family. I love the look of your new blog! I'm also starting a new blog...tomorrow. :)

I know what you mean about needing to organize. I weeded out some old homeschool books/supplies today and tried to formulate a loose plan of things to introduce in 2010. Then of course I made a list of things I'd like to buy..... not too popular with the hubby right after the holidays... :0)
I hope your organizing went well...:0)

Alone in your home? Wow, what a present! I am jealous. Great new blog, but I am going to miss the Maple Tree. I hope I get to see the book:)
