Ringing in the new century with the Smallwood family.

We had the most amazing party at the turn of the century. We have hosted great parties prior to this party and since, but none have lived up to this one. We danced, we shot fireworks, we had confetti (which led to a confetti ban in my house 😂). The next day pictures on the wall were crooked and some had fallen off walls 😮.

Some of our friends who attended were fairly new friends at the time, while some had been friends for a good while. We all had young children (a few of us had babies). I can’t think of a better way to ring in a new millennia than with friends who become family.

Since this party, our children have grown up and new babies have been born. Richard and our friend Don Franklin earned their wings. We have new “framily” because some of our kids have significant others. Life has marched on and we carry our wonderful, fun memories with us.

Every day can’t be epic like this. But we can enjoy our people, be present, and make new memories.
