New Years at the Bokas

We had a few folks over for New Years. 'Member that housewarming party we tried to have in October, but we cancelled it cause our plate was too full? Well, in our heads, this was kind of a combo deal, New Years/Housewarming. Which worked out quite well. It was low key, and FAR from the madness of Times Square, which is always what I prefer. We played Balderdash, and I basically crushed everyone. Not to brag. But it's just the truth.

Here's Minarik trying to explain something he feels is important. Clearly it must be, as Lee appears to be asleep.



There was food, there was fun, there was laughter, there were friends. Me & my oldest friend in NYC...we met a month after we both moved here in 2001. Lots of life's been lived since then!


There was LOTS of picture taking.

The Hunts

The Bokas. The matching brown shirts, unintentional.


The O'Gradys. Please. Are they not the cutest couple? Possibly ever.


Waiting for the countdown


Happy New Year!



And then of course, the next thing I know, Marisa's in sweats and has started the first dance party of 2009. In my kitchen.


Please notice how Amanda's hair is a dance party in and of itself in these next pictures....




HAPPY 2009!
