Well, everybody, it is a few minutes before midnight and Mom said there will be a massive fireworks display so we are going to take a look 
And in the meantime I asked my lucky star to give me a loooooooooong looooooooong loooooooong time with my MOM 
And will repeat my wish as soon as it is exactly midnight ...

We came back to the hotel 15 minutes after the fireworks started (Mom can see it all from the hotel window)
I LOVE fireworks but ... they are still going on half an hour later ...

When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those to love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true
Auntie Kerren, Eli and Missy Mona wish you a long life together with many more happy memories.
It's ONE THIRTY and everything is the same ...
Fshhhhh .... Fshhhhh ... Pum .... ratatatata .... Pum
I think I'll just have to ignore the noise and finally go to sleep ...
YAY for 2017 YAY
zzz ... zzz .... fshhhh .... fsshhhh ... pum .... zzzzz .... zzzzzzzzz .... fshhhh .... pum .... zzzzzzzzzzzzz ..... fshhhh ..... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ....

You brought tears to my eyes, such a beautiful poem and so heartfelt 💕 you touched my heart, girl, you really did 💗
Thank you so much 💞 I so hope Eurydice's (and mine) wishes come through 💝
Sugar pie Sally 🌻
We are both SO happy you spent New Year with us right here in Burgos and fireworkless too 😄 me and Eurydice love fireworks but I have to confess 1 1/2h was a little over the top 💥💥💥
But then again the Spanish have an incredible zest for life and can be over the top too 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽 which only adds to their charm 🎯
I'm glad you liked Eurydice's video of her drinking, there's one other on the go 🐮 💦💦💦🐮
Dearest Clare 🌻
Thank you very very very much for wishing with us on Eurydice's star 💫
We know you are rooting for us there, girl and really appreciate it 💗
Thank you SO much the three of you lovely, lovely girls for thinking about my girl (and me) and wishing upon Eurydice's star that she stays right here with me for a veeeeeeery looooooooooooooooong time 🗓🗒⏳
Sending you an avalanche of kisses and BIG smiles from Eureka and tons and tons of cuddles all around 😘😘😘😘😘💞🐮🐶🐶🐶🐶🐱🐱💘
