Birthday Knits

We went to two birthday parties today; one for Rachel's friend Kaila, and another for my nephew, Angus. Both of them have birthdays later this week, and by coincidence both parties ended up being today. Kaila had her party at the YMCA and Angus had a Bowling Party. Rachel had a wonderful time and got to eat plenty of cake, lol.

Angus is going to turn 6, and I gave him the tunic sweater I started knitting a year ago and finally finished. He seemed to really like it and I am glad I knitted the largest size in the pattern, 'cause it still fit fine! 

Happy New Year!

Happy 2008 everyone! 

As has become our tradition in the last few years, we forego the big New Year's Eve events and stay home. We make a fancy dinner (usually involving lobster or some other decadent shellfish), watch the TV broadcast from New York City, and then set off some firecrackers or fireworks if we have some.

Rachel didn't quite make it to see the ball come down in Times Square and I just had to take this sweet photo when she passed out on the couch.

Best wishes to all my friends and family for a wonderful and prosperous 2008--I love you guys!
