The best way to start a new year? With your beloved boyfriend, great friends, yummy appetizers and Beatles Rock Band? Why, yes, yes that is the best way to spend the eve of 2010. It was a simple night with pretty frocks, hair did and make up applied. Allistair and I had our first official party in our new apartment and fit about 15 of us in here for treats and Beatles music.

Who is that cute couple?

Tights and black dress required… apparently.

Pretty, coordinated girls and a table full of food and boozy drinks.

Several years ago, Sara and I invented the hottest dance moves in the nation- The Stapler and The Paper Weight. Let me see you staple it then drop it!

We then hopped in some cabs and headed to the other side of town to the apartment with a gorgeous view of the city! Thanks for hosting us senorita! We had a dance party, dessert and flower in the hair competition.

Allistair struggling through the land of the lisp! UMBRELLA!

The night ended when the dance party turned a bit sour with a friend doing a ‘triple Salchow’ dance/ ice skate move and landing on my foot. By then the new year’s vodka sodas kicked in and my precious man, who was dealing with a nasty cold, had to get my belligerent, injured but home via the bus (could not get a cab to save our lives). Luckily, he’s still talking to me.

Here’s to a 2010 filled with great new adventures, laughter and continued learning!
