We went to a party last night where we only knew the hosts but ended up having a great time and stayed ’til after the new year. Catherine, the host, gave me the moomin book pictured here, which was a delicious surprise let me tell YOU! Because you guys all know I’m all about the moomins, especially selfish Little My and creative Snufkin. Noah was expecting to be bored the whole time but ended up having fun playing games with the grown-ups. He can’t stop talking about it today — he has to keep reliving his charade challenge having to act out “Pebbles.” (He did this by trying to act out “rebels” and it’s a testimony to the creativity of the guests that several people actually guessed this!)
We never but never go out on New Year’s because we are not raucous party types and plus we like to keep our kids around so we were excited to get an invite that we could actually manage and that sounded fun.
I think my favorite thing in the last year has been branching out in my social life so being at a new year’s party where we knew no one and having a great time was a nice way to end last year and begin this one.
I think we’re going to have to have the hosts for dinner soon because we had such a grand time!!!
I really want to have more dinner parties this year! Glad you had a good NYE, we were at a lovely small gathering with dear friends and their kids, which is exactly my speed.
We went to a party too. One of those things where you dread it but usually end up having a really good time? Unfortunately we ended up coming home early because I wasn’t feeling well. Bummer for my kids, I felt terrible. Anyway, on the way home we were talking about this too, having people over more. We don’t reciprocate invitations nearly enough. It’s a great resolution.
Happy New Year!!!!!
Happy Blogoversary!
