Every other year I celebrate New Years Eve with my dad and his wife Lisa. To ring in the New Year this year we decided to go to the Red Wings hockey game. The night started off when my dad, Lisa, my sister Sam and I went to dinner at La Pita in Dearborn. After we ate dinner the four of us drove to Detroit for the game. Around seven we arrived at Joe Louis ready to watch the last hockey game of the year during disco night. The game went by fast as we danced to the 70’s music. Luckily for us the Red Wings beat the Colorado Avalanche 4-2.
When the game ended my dad picked up my friend Emma and we headed to his house. Soon after we got there my sisters boyfriend Chris came over. For the next few hours the six of us watched a variety of artists sing to the crowd of people in Times Square. As we all put on our New Years hats and tiaras, we grabbed the noisemakers and Lisa poured the champagne and sparkling juice. As the time slowly counted down to midnight we yelled with the TV, “Happy New Year”. All of us ran outside and made as much noise as possible for the next four minutes. We made toasts saying goodbye to 2009 and welcome 2010. All of us suddenly got tired soon after midnight. Emma and I went to my room around one to watch more performances. We drifted to sleep and thought of what the New Year might bring.
