Happy Hallo-Thanks-Christma-Year!

I get on my clients' cases about not blogging, and here my own personal blog has fallen into disrepair. Tsk tsk.

We celebrated New Year's Eve last night in the traditional Fashbaugh style: with our annual last-minute New Year's Eve party. Each year, we invite people over with last-minute notice, when most people have already made up their minds about what to do. This year, we were fortunate enough to catch a whole bunch of people who were kindred spirits, waiting until the last minute to decide what they were going to do! We had 12 people over! In years past, we were glad to have 3 or 4 people.

I didn't snap any photos of the occasion, which is a bummer, but just picture our little two bedroom condo with twelve people crammed into the living room and dining room. The best part was the colossal game of Nerd that we played. 12 players! We put both leaves into the dining table and moved it into the living room. No chairs, mind you. We just all gathered around and had one of the craziest games that I've ever played. It was awesome! During the chaos, we paused only briefly to wish eachother happy new year and then got back to the vicious game.
