Today is New Years Eve. We really aren't going to do anything today. Probably just going to hang out. Auntie Julie is making a huge dinner, kind of like our Christmas dinner. All we've done today is play Xbox Kinect and packed our things up. We're leaving tomorrow, and we have to be up at 7 to catch our flight. Nothing today, though. After we celebrate, I'll edit this blog and tell you what we did to celebrate!
I'm going to bed soon, it's past midnight. Richard, Nana, James, and Jay came over to celebrate New Years. We watched the countdown in front of Big Ben on the TV, and sang an old, traditional English song. Then, we went outside and watched as people tied candles in decorated paper bags, like a mini hot air balloon. The paper bags floated up into the sky. It was very pretty. Tonight is one of the rare clear nights, so you could see the stars and floating candles perfectly against the moon. We had a very nice dinner, it was a lot like what we had for Christmas dinner. This has been a fantastic trip, in every way amazing. I haven't my family here in four years, and I haven't been to England in seven years. I'm so sad to be leaving this amazing place, even if it was snowy, rainy, and foggy. I'll be counting the days until we can come back, and keeping in touch with everybody.
Here are some pictures to remember the times!
