Our traditional (well, this is the third in four years) New Year’s Day
social went off very nicely, thank you. We had RSVP’s from 40 or so adults
with at least ten kids. Things that we kept the same:
Cordon Rouge,
gazpacho, lentil soup, and coffee cake. Innovation:
hiring a real babysitter to hang out upstairs with the kids. Emma was great
but went home looking frazzled; there are still a few nerf darts on the
ceiling.
Here’s a shot of part of our front hall once things were well under way.
Thanks everyone for coming, and if our invite went astray or you slipped
our minds, sorry.
We’re thinking of maybe shifting it to the summer solstice when it’s not so
dark and cold and awful and the kids can go out in the yard.
