New Year’s Party

We spent New YearÒ€ℒs Eve and half of today in Pittsburgh, at our dear friends Rama and Bhargavi’s house. To celebrate their new baby Vivek and also new year, they hosted a party, yesterday night at their beautiful home. A party of friends and children, the total number was 30. Second time parents of 3 month old baby, as you can imagine, how tired and sleepless, they must be. Even then, they insisted and prepared a splendid meal for all of us, declining our offer of help. We had a great feast and a fine, dandy time. Thank you dear Dadis.

With their permission, here are some photos. The last images we took in 2005 and what a way to remember 2005!

    Their enthusiasm was contagious. They were very happy, that their parents allowed them to stay awake till midnight. Rambunctious bunch, running around the house and playing with their friends. They are the party. πŸ™‚
