I never got around to posting about New Years. With all the exitement of Jay walking, it was overlooked. Actually, we didn't do very much anyway. Since we have a 1 year old little boy with an 8:00 bedtime it's sort of hard to get out. We watched the Armed Forces Bowl and rooted for Air Force to beat Cal, but were disappointed when the quarterback Carney was injured and the Falcons ended up loosing (but thanks to Tal and Jess for giving us the chance to watch the game!). After the game we watched the movie She's the Man (my pick) and at midnight we sat out on our balcony and watched the many fireworks go off in and around our neighborhood. The fireworks were pretty impressive actually. German law allows people to set off bottle rockets and all sorts of fancy fireworks. It was quite entertaining. We toasted the traditional Martinelli sparkling cider, which Mike opened with his spiffy new bottle opening flip flops - thanks Mama and Papa J. We tried to get a good picture of us drinking but it didn't work out very well. Mike narrowly caught our camera as it toppled off the cereal box I had set it up on. Sparkling cider was all over the floor, but at least our camera wasn't. We had a nice night and Mike even let me sleep in the next morning... what a great husband! Just so we don't leave Jay out I'll add that we ate some celebratory jamón the next day, a Christmas present from Ryan and Luisana, and Jay went crazy for it. He just kept begging for more and more. He ended up eating half the package! Way to go little Spanish baby.
New Years is totally overrated. We were in bed reading at midnight. I do love sparkling cider though : ) We sure missed seeing you guys over the holidays!
Too bad you didn't get a bottle rocket in your eye and take a picture that looked like we were also smoking doobies--oh wait, that already happened once!! HAha, apparently you just have bad luck with new years pictures Anna. Love you guys and wish we could have done bottle rockets off our porch and played the pickle game this year too.
