Well although we couldn't take the kids out on the roof, (ever since we bought our house we have had the party at our house and the kids would go out on the flat roof outside Lincoln's bedroom to "ring" in the new year) I think we still had a great party to ring in the new year! Thankfully Nana allowed us to host this years event here at her house! Which I think was nice because she always enjoys visitors! And there were plenty of them! We ate, chatted, ate, played games, ate, laughed, and did I mention we ate? Needless to say there was more than enough food to go around and we had fun "ringing" in the new year even if it wasn't from the rooftop! (Our ringing includes banging on pots and pans just enough to annoy every neighbor in a 5 block radius!)
