Dylan's new "around the world" game is a huge hit!
3 pm in Canada = midnight in France, so Em and I skyped to say "Bonne année!"
Sawyer snapped my photo {and oh boy, am I ever wintry-white!}
Cheese fondue for dinner
Hot chocolate & whipped cream for the boys {plus my pretty poinsettia}
We got them up at 11:30 so they could join in the fun at midnight
Sparklers are hard to photograph
Dylan's sweet New Year card
Two lovely boys on the first day of 2012
Did you have a good weekend? Hope it was as relaxing and sparkly as ours!
How did you say good-bye to 2011?
PS: My look back at 2011 is here. It took me forever to do, so be sure to take a look, won't you please?

Sounds like a great way to start the new year - ours included a wintry walk too and it was so refreshing!
ReplyDeleteMy trip to the Alsace region of France to ring in 2012 was fabulous. Before I got this nasty flu, of course. But if I stop having a fever one day soon {fingers crossed!} I may actually blog what we got up to in Colmar...
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, hooray for resurrecting the "Scenes From the Weekend" series! I must do that soon. It looks like you had a lot of lovely & relaxing family time, which is definitely what you needed before the whole back-to-the routine stuff.
I love Dylan's card to you & Alan! And the fact that you took a photo of our NYE Skype chat... very geeky but very fun, non?
And now that I've digested {most} of my enormous New Year's Eve dinner, I can admire your fondue photo without my stomach churning. Looks like it was delicious! And how was the Cadbury's Yule Log?
