New Year's Eve and the Day After

Now that we've finally managed to dig ourselves out from under the heaping piles of snow, here are some of the pictures that have been accumulating on our computer like so many snowflakes. Hopefully they're more welcome than the snowflakes are these days...

We spent New Year's Eve and Day with a few friends in Connecticut, enjoying the tropical 45 degree weather and eating at celebrityly-frequented pizza joints (go adverbs!)

Clara was an outspoken proponent of sparkling.

Elliot, on the other hand, wasn't as sure about his position on the matter.

(hopefully this didn't turn into a green building)

Spontaneous sessions of "Ring Around The Rosie" were said to occur here and there.

Duck, duck...where's the goose?

Clara and Julia try to make the couch spring ahead prematurely.

"What does this thing have to do with the silly hat that Mom's wearing?"
