Happy New Year!

New Year is here and 2013 has started out fine.  No drama and no mess.  Perfect.

Had a nice New Year's Eve.  Nothing amazing. Just down home and quiet but full of laughter.

Oh, and a fight with a wine bottle.  :-)  We won.  Barely.


A pre-dinner hour across the street at Ray and Chien's place for about an hour then back to our house with Kate. 
We headed to Home Plus and got some materials for making dinner: precooked chicken and potatoes for mashed potatoes.
We also found REAL Doritos.  For about 7$.  I'm okay with that.  Between the 3 of us we ate the entire bag.  Delicious.  Eddie also had a few.

At about 15 minutes till midnight we decided to open the nice bottle of wine and get ready to toast.  Well, 10 minutes after midnight it still wasn't open.  To top that, the corkscrew broke and got stuck in the cork.  We were laughing so hard and so much.  Joseph ran out to the GS a few buildings away and bought another one.  In the meantime we tried to pry the screw out with chopsticks--a sure sign we've been here too long.

Took a few photos, had a lot of laughs and ate some yummy food.  Kudos for Kate for making the mashed potatoes! Yummers.
Oh, and my first try with false eyelashes.  Who knew they'd be so pretty?
