We celebrated New Year's Eve with good friends. Tim & Sonia hosted a wonderful dinner at their home. Graham, Jen, Chelsea, Alex and his wonderful mom Margarita visiting from Mexico joined us as well. We had a great dinner together where we shared our resolutions for the upcoming year and even had Jason & Allison on the speaker phone from Tokyo to share. The girls spent their evening with Grandma, Papa and cousin Taeya. They had a great time with a movie, popcorn and lots of playing.
