We have never been big on New Years celebrations, and this year was another year when we couldn't have partied even if we wanted to because Nathan has stand by very early in the morning.
We celebrated by having our traditional fondue dinner at home. It felt pretty special anyway, being together just the four of us, and in our new home.
I had spent most of the day cleaning away Christmas, so the house felt light, fresh and ready for the new year.
Linnea made her very first Pavlova all by herself! A really good job!
Luckily they had decided this year to do the fireworks twice. There was already some fireworks at 9 pm, so we got to enjoy those together all of us. Then Lucas took off to Dubai with his friends, while the rest of us are waiting for the stroke of midnight, the next set of fireworks - and the new year.
This is a very different New Year to previous years. Finally (well, dare I say this with the current situation in China or am I jinxing it now..?) as it feels like we can look into the next year with optimism and joy. Finally life is back and the world is our oyster again.
Personally I feel like I can now exhale a bit after the past few months of complete full on and intense chaos. I have found a good rhythm and balance again, time for some TV, for some reading and even for doing absolutely nothing at all the past few days - and it has been glorious!
Bring on 2023 - I am so curious to see what joyful moments it will bring!
Happy New Year to all!
