Parties, parties and more parties!

The last month has been filled with lots of excitement!  Rory celebrated her first birthday on November 28th.  We didn't have a large party, but family came over for lunch and cake to celebrate the occassion.  Rory was more enamored by the balloons than by the cake or gifts - figures! 

My folks (Warwick's) celebrated their 40th anniversary and to celebrate, Yuri, Jesse, Petra and I threw a "surprise" party for them.  I put suprise in quotations as it actually didn't turn out to be a surprise (many people let the cat out of the bag - oh well).  They were married in 1969 when my mom was a stewardess and my dad was a young accountant.  We decided that this was a great theme so we asked people to come dressed as stewardesses or accountants...it was great.  It's hard to believe that they got married after only knowing each other for 3 months and they have been together 40 years - Congrats!

We had a Christmas open house/housewarming party on December 12th.  It was fun to show off the remodeled house, catch up with friends and family and meet some of our new neighbors.

Finally, Rory has just begun to walk.  She can stand on her own and takes a few steps...I suspect in a few weeks she will be running around. 

Hope you all have a merry Christmas and a safe New Years!  Enjoy the pictures.

Warwick 40th Anniversary Party
Below is a group shot of the anniversary party guests.  We did a sit-down dinner for just under 30 friends and family. 



Jesse, Petra and I posing with good friend Renee Limoge (next to me) who was acting chef for the evening.  She did a great job putting together a sit-down dinner for 30 people...we couldn't have pulled off the party without her.

My uncle Randy came to the party dressed as a stewardess - that man has fantastic legs!!!!!
