Last night we visited friends. Looking at the bar I saw guacamole, chips, cheesecake, sopapilla cheesecake, 3-layer dip, pizza, red wine, and beer. The bond of rich food and holidays seems universal at the places I’ve been.
The 7 kids playing new Wii games had a great time. First they followed along dancing with the figure on the screen. Levels of coordination varied, but enthusiasm was high for all. Later the boys took over the controllers and raced each other along with Mario.
Two teenage girls alternately mingled and disappeared throughout the night. They talked about body piercing and boys.
Three dogs roamed the house watching for snacks and as many rubs as they could accumulate.
Grown-ups talked about skiing, soccer, places to vacation, local weather, anything that floated through our lightly alcohol greased minds.
As midnight neared Justin took off with a friend to watch a movie in his room. And get ready for his sleep-over.
Grant saw the ball fall in New York for the first time as we welcomed in 2010. Watching was fun; being warm and cuddly with people we care about—seeing people in New York dancing in the cold and rain, keeping warm with an adrenaline rush.
Happy New Years to all, we love you.
