Can you believe I an doing a WOYWW post on New YEAR's day. Not posting a desk though, just what happened at my house in the early hours of the morning yesterday. Hope that counts. I am afraid my desk will be very neglected today, too much cleaning to do. LOL
This year we decided to let some Chinese lanterns free in honour of all those who are no longer with us.The grandies were fascinated and the adults too, let me tell you.
Happy New Year to all of you, may this year be a great one, filled with peace, good health and lots of blessings.
oh bless her! our molly-cat didn't like the fireworks either! i wish our neighbours just released chinese lanterns... beautiful and quiet...
ReplyDeletewishing you all good things in 2013 and happy WOYWW :o)

awesome pics of the family. Poor baby girl looks frightened. My grandbabies don't like the loud noises either and want to hide. Happy New Year! I look forward to seeing your posts in 2013! Vickie #17
ReplyDeleteoh, poor thing! happy new year. helen 4
ReplyDeleteAah, who can blame her for not liking so much noise, plenty of time for fireworks when she grows up I guess. Nice pics of the family. Happy New Year! Anne x #7
ReplyDeleteHappy new year Tertia!! Love that pic of your granddaughter and the fireworks. Luckily we just had one burst of them at midnight and both the cats are not afraid of the noise. Annette #23

That is such a fab photo, grabbed shots are so often the best! I love those lanterns but they might be banned around here because of all the thatched roofs...sigh
ReplyDeleteHappy new year, LLJ 31 xxxx
Sounded like ww3 round our house with all the bangs...good thing my dog is now deaf as she hated those noises. Love those lanterns, they are very special.
ReplyDeleteWe had lanterns to release but didn't because the wind was going the wrong way. We wanted it to go out to sea because a fire was caused by one of these lanterns on Christmas day!!! A blessed new year! Patsy from

Oh dear - she looks terrified. I'm glad we live in the country - all was quiet here! Happy new year!

Oh poor baby, my 19 year old baby still doesn't much like the noise either, although these days it is about the noise not the scariness. The lanterns a re a lovely gentle way to show that you remember, bet they were pretty.
ReplyDeleteWonderful family photos. You certainly captured the moment. We had chinese laterns a couple of years ago when we went on holiday, they were amazing. Glad you enjoyed the festivities and look forward to seeing your desk when you get back. Happy new Year to you and your family. Tracey R ±48
ReplyDeleteOh poor wee mite! Love how your first reaction was to photograph her and not comfort her, lol!! You're a true blogger Tertia!! The lanterns are a lovely way to remember people and to put a soft and gentle close on 2012. Sounds like 2013 is going to be a great year for your family, hope the wedding goes ok.

Tertia what cute photographes, Happy New Year to you. We have some of those lanterns but are yet to send them off.

Mag jy en jou gesin 'n vreugdevolle en vredevolle 2013 beleef.
ReplyDeleteAll those experts who say you need to plan your photos and frame it etc have obviously not got children. You need to just grab what you can whenever it happens. The best shots are the ones that just happen when you are there. We are very lucky with our dogs and fireworks, they just lifted their head, looked at us and went back to sleep. Have a very Happy New Year. xx Maggie #45
ReplyDeleteMust be warm where you are with all those shorts, Tertia. Can't even where shorts in the house where we are. Granddaughter is a doll. So fun at that age. Not in WOYWW this week, but just stopping by to say hi.
ReplyDeleteGod bless,

Wow! Such lovely wedding photos and a super card, too. Thank you for stopping by my blog.
