Happy New Year

In Mongolia New Years is a very special time for Mongolians, kind of like what Christmas is to us. I didn't have the heart to get Undra, Paige's babysitter to work on her special night so we spent our first New Years Eve in Mongolia at home joined by friends that had stayed in Mongolia for the holidays.
When the clock struck 12 midnight we drank champagne, ate New Years Cake and lite the fire works that our friends had purchased.
All over town we could hear fire works going off with a bang.
Happy New Year to all our friends and family
from Bernadette, Ben & Paige
