Zodiac Rooster & Bob’s Birthday

Last night, Beth invited me over the New Year’s Eve celebration in her town of Acorn (which is five hours ahead of me). I put on my tuxedo and headed over. Squishy was also there, and we all celebrated the arrival of 2017.At one point, Filbert pushed me away from the plaza! He’s stronger than he looks! 😉

Perfect oranges were Re-Tail’s premium item back in Forest, so Squishy and Beth returned to 2016 (briefly) to sell some perfect oranges in my town.

I didn’t watch the countdown in my own town, though. I was playing Wild World instead. But I did return to New Leaf later and saw a few of the fireworks.

Today, I got a letter in the mail from Mom, wishing me a happy new year. She included 10,000 bells with the letter.

While there weren’t fireworks today, I did spot the northern lights up in the sky. Lots of reasons to keep looking up lately.

Isabelle was at the event plaza, talking about how she wishes she could fly free like a bird. Are you not happy with your job here, Isabelle?

She was actually referencing 2017 being the year of the rooster. A Zodiac rooster was the item she was handing out for the new year. I took it home to get a look at it.

Between my perfect peach money from the other day and today’s monthly interest on my bank account, my balance topped 88 million bells.

My villagers all wished me a happy new year, although no one said it quite like Camofrog.

Today is also Bob’s birthday! So I made sure to pay him a visit and attend his birthday party. I gave him a customized square minitable for his present. I hope he liked it.

Pashmina was also there (sporting a Wii U shirt).

Not surprisingly, Bob had food on his mind. He couldn’t wait to dig into his birthday cake.

Happy birthday, Bob! And Happy New Year to you!

My recent dream visitors have been Adeline from Argyle and Ashley from Wendell. Thanks for stopping by!
