Ryan started the weirdest tradition a couple of years ago for New year's Eve. He builds a wooden fort, then puts in left over fireworks from the 4th of July, and blows it up! We didn't have any fireworks this year, so he and Sierra filled it with paper and lit a match. You can see the poor soldiers on the top don't have a chance.
I had a lovely Birthday, can't believe I'm already 55! Thanks so much for all the cards and calls. I am still LOVING my new carpet.
