Let the Wellabration Commence!!!!

This once-a-year, first-day-of-the-new-year celebration was held six days ago at Mike Bishop's house with all the festivities I could have hoped for on New Year's Eve. The glow of fireworks, and small, destructive children with sparklers. High-spirited adults with recently emptied wine glasses in front of them. The satisfying taste of sparkling cider, either grape or apple, deliciously sliding down the throats of those not old enough for wine. If you enter Shawn Bashor's man-cave, you'll find crazy men playing WWE on the XBox 360, beating the virtual crud out of each other. My friend Josh nearly blowing his ears out with bottle rockets that he didn't quite let go of in time, and concerned mothers gasping at his daring feats. A couple full rounds of "cops and robbers", arguing about whether the star in the middle of the sky was Mars or Jupiter, and wellabrating like no one else could dream of. Screams and shouts of delight rang from the Bishop's house like from no other house in Jupiter Florida, and the smiles on people's faces as they left the party proved that NOBODY wellabrates like we do.

It was really great, wasn't it? I think we were arguing about whether the planet was Venus or Mars instead of Jupiter or Mars. Maybe some people were saying it was Jupiter and I didn't hear them. Hmmm... I know it was Mars though, and I'm ready to fight anyone who says it's Venus (like Josh did). :) -Reeses

You are totally right nobody wellabrate's like we do. We are so cool!!! The whole thing of all the kids with sparklers was pretty strange. The fireworks were the best and all the yelling of small and big children. I don't think I stopped smiling at all!!!! :)
