Saturday Snapshot -- New Year Celebration


Join West Metro Mommy for this weekly meme of photos people have taken and share on their blogs.

Isn't it funny, all the separate holidays that we have based on religion or culture, but New Year's Eve is one that we all can celebrate around the world, of course, at different times depending on our time zone. And yes, I know that some cultures have separate calendars so different new years, like the Chinese, but really, all around the world we celebrate on Dec. 31 as a new year begins.
I like being united with everyone.
We had a terrific party at my friend Sheila's house. She throws the best parties whether New Years or Fourth of July.
Here are a couple of pictures of us celebrating.
Tracie brought cut outs attached to sticks so that we could do silly pictures.

That's Tracie in the middle. She's a librarian and comes up with all kinds of clever ideas. Janine on the right is one of the women who hiked the Appalachian Trail with me. 


Laura on the left has a son close to Spencer's age. They were best friends for a while, united in their love for basketball. 


Here's a group picture, a groupie, of a bunch of us just after midnight. Sheila's 16-year-old is photobombing us in the very back.


And after the clock struck midnight, we decided we needed to dance. I love the expression on Pam's face, on the right. She looks so sassy. We were waving our fingers at Dan who was taking pictures. All except for Sheila in the back who didn't realize we were posing.
I hope everyone else had a fun-filled New Year's Eve and I hope the coming year is just as filled with laughter and dancing for all of  you as I had at Sheila's party.

What fun! I do love the idea of being united with everyone around the world, in different time zones.

In the year 2000, that was especially poignant, as some were worrying about the Y2K thing, so seeing other countries in their celebrations, ahead of us, made me feel happy.

Thanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.

It looks such a fun party- I haven't been to a NYE party in years... I'm usually working, so never plan anything besides some nice bubbles and sitting on the couch watching the Sydney fireworks.

OMG what fun. You know what they say, what ever you do on NYE you'll be doing all year long. Your fate appears to be sealed with fun, friends and lots of laughter.

 We stood in the middle of the road, having walked together 13 miles that day and Claudine grasped my forearm. "Mais non! It doesn'...
