The Adventures of a Brooklyn Babe...: 2009! WE MADE IT!

WOW.

Talk about a whirlwind tour. The holidays were non-stop. We started in NY. First we dined on some great eats prepared by Grandma Clara for Yerania's BIG B-day bash. Then, the next day, Christmas Eve, we ran it back. Same place. Same crew (pretty much). We eat more great food and opened a bunch of presents. After we cleaned up the mess from back to back parties in the Stuy, we packed up and headed to CT to Uncle Mike and Aunt Diane's. We ate and ate and ate. Watched the Laker's get real LUCKY (no worries, remember Game 6 last year). Shout outs to Courtney, Neal, Fiona, and Brendan as well as Aunt Diane for cooking an amazing meal and Mike for hosting (I bet you still got left overs! ha). Then we headed across the river to RI. We spent the night at Babi's. But Babi wasn't even there. She had to be rushed to the ER late Christmas night. I think she might have been trying to avoid all her house guests. Don't worry Babi, we didn't trash the place. The next day, we drove farther north to NH, where we bearly had time to unpack the cars (we were rolling 3 cars deep) before we headed to Jane and Kordy's house for an important dinner partay. We did it big at J and K's. The next day was the Ritter's famous Christmas party. We crushed it on Brackett Rd (but there was no appearance by my buddy Officer Walsh). LEMONCELLO! Thanks to everyone who came thru. We had a few days in NH kinda of relax. Then we back to Brooklyn. But first we stopped in RI to see Babi again. And it didn't stop there. We hosted a New Year's Eve party. So after all that cooking, cleaning, driving, wrapping, unwrapping, eating, dancing, game playing, packing, and unpacking, we made through alive, and I think Nohli had a pretty great first Christmas. We still got the tree up, but it's losing it's hair quick. We are all very excited about 2009. Nohli continues to amaze us. Watching her developing so quickly into this little person is incredible.
