Actually Cassius I think you just reminded me..lol..we stood out in our backyard and could just see the tops of some fireworks! I think we were going to go down to where they were being held, but it was a bit cool outside and we thought it might be a bit loud for DD (she was only 5 months old). Maybe this year we'll go down, although I haven't even heard anything about new year's celebrations here, apart from NY day races
