Ringing in the new year: Confetti rains down on 2,500 youngsters and their families gathered at the Science Museum of Virginia to ring in 2019 early — at noon on Monday. Youngsters, including Aleyah Michael, 4, left, and Brycen Woodson, 5, made wearable decorations for the “Noon Year’s Eve” celebration, which featured a giant party ball, music, countdown, noisemakers and a parade. Youngsters also could sign a huge banner with their resolutions for 2019. (Photo by Ava Reaves)
