Happy 2011!

We took a chance (or I should say our friends did) after Mina had been sick through the night and morning but we are buggered if we are missing out on another new years eve! Those were the thoughts that ran through my mind on new years eve. This would have been the second year in a row we would have had to cancel new years eve because of a stomach bug. In all honesty I do not remember the last time we celebrated new year outside our flat or at least with friends. Of corse after 25 its not all that hanging in a bar / club at midnight, having to fight to get a taxi home or getting into a fight in the take out que. Its been quite nice and cosy being at home, just the two of us (and in later years, the 3 of us) but now it was defiantly time for some good old partying!

Late as usual we set of to Gothenburg with a car packed to the sealing and me in the back seat, just in case Mina was going to be sick and we would have had to turn around. But luckily that didnt happen.

We got to Catrin and Marcus with 30 min to spare before the GP firework display started - it was really pretty and set the sceen perfectly, even tho it was only 5pm (despite that the kids wanted to go home and I spend most of the show hunched down writing names in the air with sparklers). This was defiantly the hangout for parents with kids under 5.

Well back at the flat we had an awesome 3 course dinner and the kids truly enjoyed their sausage-meatballs-cheese skewers served with chips. With a little break between main course and dessert the little ones collapsed into bed - a bit later than usually so hopefully they will all sleep in tomorrow....yeah right.

With plenty of wine, liqueur and whiskey from a distiller Catrin and Marcus had visited in Scotland earlier that year we continued the evening with a game playing embarrassing tunes on Spotify.

We entered 2011 in true style with a bottle of Moet & Chandon and promises of doing a trip to Copenhagen in Spring.

A truly fantastic new years eve and an awesome beginning on 2011!

Of corse the kids didnt sleep in and I had for once forgotten about the day after so the morning was pretty tough but Catrin took first watch over the children and then laid on a fantastic breakfast which did made me see through the first part of the day. Then, there is nothing a dirty Mc Feast meal cant cure ; )

Lets say, I am not starting my 2011 until the 2nd January.
