At the party, there was a Wii game which permitted the guests to try their luck at bowling. My score remains secret. blush.
At midnight, we all toasted each other with champagne as we watched the ball drop. Many kisses were bestowed back and forth amongst the guests wishing each other Happy New Year. It must have been a sight, especially for the young janitor guy who was watching the ball drop on the TV along with us. And then, quickly it was done. Everything cleaned up and put away by the stroke of 12:30am as agreed. Thanks, guys. Then we cruised off into the night fortunately to our nearby condos for a timely bedtime.
