The parties get bigger when there's more elbow room!

New year's eve showed us that we haven't been getting together with friends as much as we'd all like. What with the cold weather, all of us having school age kids, and general frantic busy-ness, we knew it was time for another gathering. So our loft was the scene of a thoroughly pleasant potluck last night with about 25 guests. Half of the guests were kids, so it was noisy. One group came equipped with rollerblades and a lot of fun ensued. Plus, we had the added bonus of motivation to tackle dust bunnies and toss laundry toward the basement, so even after a whole lot of merry making my house looks nicer today than it did all month! Plus someone left behind a pitcher of margaritas in the fridge.
