Posted on December 30th, 2011 in Friday Five, Stories
This Festive Friday, the Blond Duck will be preparing for New Year’s! Here’s the top 5 Pond Traditions:
1) Watching It’s a Wonderful Life
2) Barking at fireworks
3) Griping at fireworks
4) Twirling
5) Going to bed way before midnight!
Blue Eyes will return next week!
Stay tuned, Invisible Friends! A look at the Pond’s New Years Resolutions tomorrow!

ahh, your New Years Eve sounds a lot like OUR New Years Eve!! We are usually in bed way before midnight and then the fireworks or noisy neighbours wake us up at midnight. Time for a quick kiss and back to sleep, that is if the neighbours and fireworks don’t go on for too long . . . then it’s griping time! Happy New Year to the Pond! xxoo

We used to be able to stay up no problem but it seems like now we go to sleep early. Our daughter will wake us up and we watch the New Years ball drop together.Those pictures are so cute! The one of the dogs asleep is just adorable!!

OMG… LOVE the last photo of the babies. Gretchen will be barking at fireworks too… unless I get the popcorn in the microwave first, and keep popping until they’re done.
Hmmm… The hot air popper has more potential to keep on keeping on. Wonder if it would serve as a distraction too?

Was just stopping by to wish you and your canine darlings Happy New Year when I caught sight of the pic of the two of them embraced. So precious! May 2012 be filled with joy and happiness . . .

The puppies are so adorable. When the clock strikes 12, I dance around to happy music and I think that is way over due now. Enjoy your weekend, Duckie and I’ll see you next year, where I’ll wish that you’ll teach me how to rollerblade and we’ll eat pie!

Happy New Years Blond Duck! My kids will be tearing into a Gingerbread House at midnight tomorrow. Then hopefully we will all be awake enough to go to church the next morning.

I’m 0pretty sure New Year’s Eve is for amateurs. We spend it home and safe, where the drunks can’t get us. Happy New Year, Miranda and Ben!
