So the Winter Classic was held in Philadelphia this year. Tickets to the actual NHL game between the Flyers and the Rangers were outlandishly expensive but they also did a minor league game and an alumni game. Parker got tickets to the later two and could not have been more excited. Originally it was just him and Joe going to the alumni game on New Year's Eve but then at the last minute John Kemble threw his hat in to go as well leaving Tina and I do get the NYE celebration going on our own. No biggie. The kids played together all day after Tina and I went grocery shopping and bought, among other things, 10 pounds of crab legs - 10 pounds! It was awesome :) The boys got home around 6pm which was good because we were just starting the food cooking so we were all able to sit and enjoy together.
The rest of the neighbours cam over around 9pm including Jill, Kelly and Ashley, Fred Sam and Murphi, Theresa, Darren and Michelle and Alexa, Tony and their boys Christian and Evan. We had a nice full group to ring in the New Year. We are ran outside whooping and blowing air horns and watching local fireworks on the street behind us. A terrific time was had by all and we are kind of hoping we have discovered a new ritual for New Year's Eve because our old one was in a bit of a rut. The 8 bottles of wine we went through might have had something to do with that :)
Here's to you 2012 - onwards and upwards - we are coming, guns ablazing with huge anticipation for the future!
