New Year's Eve

 Happy New Year everyone! We hope you are enjoying 2008 so far and had a great time ringing it in.

This year we celebrated New Year's Eve at my gal pal Joanna's place. It was a United Nations themed party where each person/couple drew a country out of a hat. From there, they had to represent their country by coming dressed up, bringing a local dish, a bottle of booze, a saying and a dance. It was a lot of fun!! The countries represented were : Brazil, Denmark, Chile, Sri Lanka, Columbia, Cuba, Belarus, Italy and Egypt.

Here are some pix from the night:

 

Also joining us was Pedro from Columbia. Pedro had a good time with all of us....that was until midnight came along.

 

RIP Pedro! We will miss you!!

Here are some photos taken throughout the night well after the clock struck twelve.

The Italian peeps decided to bring some local bitters. Ewwwww!!!

Here are some before and after shots:

And then at about 2am we decided to try and turn our semi-pro JENGA status to pro. It is amazing how confident one is after a few bevies. We are still semi-pros :) and of course the guys had to try and one up us.

All in all it was a great night and it seemed to fly by. It seemed like we were ringing in the new year with champagne and hugs and before we knew it it was 3:30am. You know you are having a good time when!!

Thanks for the GT's everyone and especially Jo for being the hostess with the mostess!
