Random shots from NYE. Instead of our usual Sea of Dreams gathering with all our friends (we've done it 4 years in a row!), we opted to hop around from house party to house party, hanging out with different groups of friends, enjoying a mellow conversation (vs. dancing and partying hard), and wandering to the next place when felt like it. Most of our Campalicious friends did the same and we all enjoyed it.
Thanks to Toni though, we all first gathered at her house for dinner. I really treasured getting to feel our groupiness. It was like a grand reunion. I basked in the care and love everyone showed for our 'art project'.
When we finally headed home way past midnight, we ended up spending an hour or so at our neighbor's whose party was still in full swing. I was quite amused when someone came up and said, "my friend thinks you're cute but he's too shy to approach you." Telling him I was married and pregnant sure drove him away!
Once we got home, a few other friends had stopped by with a group of about 10 folks. So a party started anew! I was so surprised I stayed up! Later, after Dav was already in deep snooze, I got a call from dear Rachel and Cesar who wanted to stop by after their wild NYE party to "hug" me. I was so happy, and we snuggled in front of the fire place catching up on the night til about 6am. For a sober gal, I partied well, eh?
Happy Dog Year!

Toni posted our group picture from the dinner gathering. Man, I love our friends and am sooooooooooooooo lucky to have them!
