Lisa, Ketsia and I did not have any real plan for New Year&rsquo;s eve till we received a sms from Norma, who is the wife of Lisa&rsquo;s cousin, Waldi. \u00ab\u00a0What are you doing tonight? Do you have already visitors?\u00a0\u00bb Do they want to spend New year&rsquo;s eve with us? Then came the call&#8230; Yes they do! What a good surprise. A few hours and 423km later they were at our door. It was the occasion for Ketsia to meet her cousins, who just knew her from the pictures and from their prayers. We had a really great time and it was quite an adventure: with 3 small children you cannot get bored. We had raclette (hmm yummmy), but you won\u00b4t see any pictures of it because our small friends did not let me the time to take pictures during diner. I&rsquo;m totally fine with that because sometimes it&rsquo;s just better to let the camera aside and have a quality time with your friends and family.<br \/>\nThe other funny thing with small children is that you realize that your house in not children-safe at all&#8230; Ketsia does not crawl yet with her cousins it&rsquo;s another story. That was a real good training for us.<br \/>\nAfter diner and before the \u00ab\u00a0fireworks&rsquo;s war\u00a0\u00bb we just sat on the couch and spoke about 2012 and 2013. That&rsquo;s how I like celebrating New Year&rsquo;s eve: sharing the blessings you received during the last 12 months despite hard times, the wishes and challenges that 2013 brings and praying all together. No big party.<br \/>\nThen we did see and <strong>hear<\/strong> the fireworks&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Because Jonathan and Jeremiah are so sweet, I did not resist to take a lot of pictures of them the next day. Enjoy that small selection.<\/p>\n<div>\n<a rel=\"lightbox[eve]\" href=\"http:\/\/www.secham.org\/Galleries\/sylvester_blog\/sylvester_blog-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-453\" title=\"Happy new Year 2013\" src=\"http:\/\/www.secham.org\/Galleries\/sylvester_blog\/sylvester_blog-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"780\" height=\"520\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nThanks you again Family T\u00f6ws for that really nice surprise ,o)<\/p>\n<p>And of course, I wish to my blog&rsquo;s followers all the best, God&rsquo;s blessings and Jesus&rsquo; love for 2013.
