New Year's Ball
January 2, 2015 - I can’t believe that 2015 is finally here! What better way to inaugurate this year’s blog posts than photos from the New Year’s Ball?
A quick word about 2014:
2014 has come and gone and the year brought forth a lot of change and growth within the dynamics of our family. God has been incredibly gracious to us this year. I was so thankful that we were able to able to celebrate and bring in the new year together. That said, I am very excited to see where the Lord leads us in 2015 as we continue to grow and mature!
Okay, I could go on and on reflecting over the past year, but let’s get this party started! It’s time to celebrate the new year with one of the biggest social events of the season…the New Year’s Ball!
Thank you for your continued interest in our family and our blog over the past year – I look forward to sharing future posts in the coming year!

I always have to throw in some still-life shots. ;)
This enchanting passageway led to the beautifully decorated dancing floor:
I always love the sense of “space” that lights strung overhead create and how their dim light adds to the ambience of the room.
This one photo captures the many forms of socialization that occurs at these dances.
Little gatherings of people engaged in conversation, hugs with friends, and photos being taken – in my case, while standing on a chair.

DANCING
“There were more Dancers than the Room could conveniently hold, which is enough to constitute a good Ball at any time.” – Jane Austen, 1799
We danced many of the favorites from the Regency time period

The evening ended with an encore dance, “The Scottish Polka.”

Belleville’s decorated main street looks like it came from a story book

New Years Eve
Mom felt well enough today to get up and leave the house, so for New Year’s Eve we ate at a restaurant and then went to Kate’s office. We brought a few games with us including Monopoly so we started playing it using the “fast game” rules. It ended up being a 4 1/2 hour long game! Here was the final score:
Andrew: $7,761 Lisa: $4,883 Noah: $3,957
Ben & Kate went bankrupt
Even though it was a pretty long game, it was still the easiest $7000 I’ve earned in such a short period of time.
We had hoped to have a family meeting for our vision for the next year, but the Monopoly game took up most of our evening.
I tried printing the timeline I’d created for 2010, but the printer kept on acting up. We finally got home at about 3am.
