Happy New Year!

We are happy to say the the Seafood Extravaganza was a success, and we enjoyed a delicious meal together. Then the 'kids' went to a party being thrown by a friend of Samirs, in an apartment with a fabulous view of the Eiffel Tower. We got there minutes before midnight, and had a good time until two small mishaps before we left (Christy's coat got a 'parting gift' and I almost lost my cell phone). After leaving we headed to a cafe for some hot drinks, only to find that the one cafe that was still open wasn't serving hot drinks anymore. Just cold ones. We made do.

After making it home safely, and setting Samir and Christy up on the pull out couch, I returned from the bathroom to discover that Erik and Steve had reverted back to their younger selves, and in fact broken the bed we were sleeping on. This was apparently the result of an elbow drop by the little brother. Sigh. All was fixed, and despite the party that was still going on in the apartment above us at 4 am we had a good nights sleep.

Today the parents are off to discover the Louvre. Our itinerary is yet to be determined.

Happy New Year to all!
