Happy New Year!

Dec 31, 2009
we celebrated with Nicole, Dan and Peter.
it was a children-oriented party, the countdown was at 8pm and noise was not frowned upon.
after dinner we went back home, and tried to get a good night of sleep. ('tried' being the key word).

Nicole, Dan and Peter with traditional miso soup, crab rangoon, and an extra-dirty, extra-olive martini.

you can't even tell from the pictures that ella had just banged her head in the table... she sneezed and hit the table. poor thing. she didn't know what hit her, literally! she looked at us for a few seconds, very confused ('wait, what was that? sneezing is supposed to be fun!') and then started to cry, and then got distracted by something, and all was forgotten.


ella loved her party hat.


ima had to try the hat on too...

and of course, the best use of such a hat is as a musical instrument.




the three of us having a drink for the new year (at 8pm): champagne - formula - champagne.

party girls!
