Back in the Swing of Things

Sigh...our vacation is over. It was nice having a break from our routine. Actually, D had to work all day Friday, and part of Saturday, so maybe the transition will be easier for him. :)

New Year's Eve/Day were pretty uneventful for us. Lots of good food, of course. We slept over at my parents' house. D was feeling under the weather, so we ended up watching the crazy stuntmen in Vegas, watching the east coast midnight celebration, and called it a night. I think it was the earliest I went to sleep on a New Year's Eve since I was a kid. However, I was able to keep up my tradition of making a lot of cards with all of my moms' craft supplies for the upcoming year.

k ended up spending the whole day in her pjs! Happy 2009!

Saturday afternoon we went to a birthday party for k's favorite one year old. (She even named her baby doll after her). The guest of honor likes noodles, so they set up a ramen bar...so yummy. Put some noodles in a bowl, add broth (just a little for k), then add sprouts, green onions, char siu, dumplings, and hard boiled egg to your heart's content. I think I see a restaurant concept here. There was also beef curry and rice.

Look at the size of that cake! It was from a Chinese bakery, though, so it wasn't too heavy.
