*****Images from Celebrating the New Year*****

A tender kiss between my parents... The shock of such a public display of affection...
Raising our glasses to the new year, 2009...



Another tender moment between husband and wife...

...and their youngest child....

Karaoke stars...

...this would be the youngest child of our hosts for the evening...

A budding superstar at 2 years old...she picked up the mic all on her own!


A family that LOVES Karaoke...

Friends singing and dancing....


...here I am on the right doing my part "karaoke - ing"

Here's the youngest child of the hosts again...obviously not impressed by our singing...


...she thinks we're crazy!







He stole my Indian slippers, put them on, then raced around the house. Apparently he has a shoe fetish and thus could not resist my jewelled slippers!





































Mother and daughter....

















Father and son....





















Mother and son....



















Father and daughter....

Love the kissy photo! here's to the year of snogging!

This was the first time we didn't celebrate New Years with the kids. Normally we have had family parties with friends and all the kids are there. it was strange not having them around to celebrate and dance with.

your New Years looked like a lot of fun.
