bye-bye 2008



Pictures from our party, in no particular order.


Theo and Zach


Jon, Jake, Lara, Gus, Zach, Nathan


Gus's intro to pinatas. It was a hit!


Theo was super into it.


Chloe and Lara


Gus, Ellie and Nikki


Lara


Denis and Sophie



The kids all liked the pinata, but did not come close to breaking it open. Jon took it care of it.


This holiday also brought another first for Gus: Gummy candy. Beth brought "dirt" complete with gummy worms. Beth, Tom, Gus, Nathan, Lara, Anna.


Sheri brought these balloons. The kids liked these even more than the pinata and I had had enough sangria to take the edge off and tolerated them better than would be expected. My new friend still do not know about my balloon phobia.

Guests:
Kate, Jon, and Chloe
Beth, Tom and Nathan
Nikki, Chris, Zach and Ellie
Anna, Misha and Lara
Sheri, Jon, Jake, and itty bitty baby Ava
Linh, Denis, Sophie and Ava (formerly baby Ava)

Note three Jonathans. Jon and Jon are also Jonathan. Popular name back in the 70's.

Menu:
Finger foods. Much easier than last year, but I attempted too many hot things for one little oven. Seriously considering desert and cocktails for next year. Pinata and dirt a must.

yay! fun pictures. lara still asks for worms with chocolate mud for dessert, by the way - any time there is a picture of birds eating worms, or any time we talk about you guys or i show her your blog. so funny.

also, that picture of gus and theo's tummies you have as your header is sooo cute!
