Or Happy New Year to all my friends who are celebrating it now!

Tonight we celebrated with our friends the Carlssons. For once it was Ben who introduced us. Usually a parent’s friend group closely resembles the friend group of the first born, not second.

Asian Salmon, Fried Rice, Dumplings and Egg Rolls for dinner.

They have 3 kids. Which means, like us, no matter what, they are always outnumbered.

And they have kids in the same age range. Which means we have all gotten to a point where we let them run wild in rooms we are not in and hope that nothing too terrible happens.

Luckily tonight there was a minimum of crying and fighting so the adults were actually free to enjoy adult conversation and beverages.

Is it Halloween or the New Year?
