Happy New Year Everyone!


Time has really flown by! It's now 2007, Happy new year everyone! We sure hope the new year will bring everyone great health, wealth, love and everything they wish for. We sure started the new year with a big bang! (Although new year's eve was really quiet... we went to bed early, read a little and was about to fall asleep when we heard our neighbours screaming out, and realized it was the countdown :)! So we wished each other a very happy new year, then went to sleep! hahahaha.



But on the first, we were off to our friend's place. There were 3 couples with 5 toddlers, all around Bibou's age. Yes, wow! Lots of noises, squealing, fighting, crying, but as we all mentioned afterwards, the kids did seem to have a good time, and they played with each other fairly well. Bibou was totally into the Po doll and latched onto her and a stroller. She would hug Po and then push her around in her stroller.




The kids had their meal first, and I love this picture of her, sitting on a cushion, her head barely passing over the table, trying to eat her food. Everyone had crackers to pull and we tried to get the kids to hear their crowns. They didn't stay long on the head. Unfortuantely, the kids were too excited to have their meals properly, and so the nice meal was mostly wasted.




We adults had a wonderful yummy meal. We started with Daddy's famous, always in demand foie gras! That was all gone! The main was a delicious wild boar stew, with roasted potatoes, gingerbread stuffing and brocoli. Next came a wonderful array of cheeses. Finally, we finished up with a desert that I made, a Christmas buche which didn't turn up so bad (I had a little help from Daddy with the decorations I have to admit). The recipe is Mamita's and it was delicious! After dinner, Daddy entertained everyone with his fabulous singing. We had to go soon after though as bibou didn't have her nap (as with all the kids) and she was getting CRANKY! In fact, she was sooo tired, she fell asleep as soon as we got into the car and soon after we got home, we undressed her, and put her to bed where she slept through until morning!



We hope everyone's new year started off well! 2007 will certainly be a very exciting year for us. Watch this space for more!
