Gary, Steve, Tara and Debbie hanging out in the living room.
The kitchen was full all night (possibly due to the chocolate fountain).
Gary played high-stakes go fish with Julia.
We had the Wii set up in the living room and the Xbox 360 in the basement (unfortunately neither of them are ours).
Contrary to appearances, Paul and Keith are swimming.
Paul's parents rocking the Guitar Hero.
Baby Tara loved our water wall.
Kristy played with Julia and Elena for a very long time. (Please ignore the dead body in the background, she was trying to stay out of the picture).
Jacob hung out with Doug.
Steve, Tara, Paul, me and Ira.
We received some very cool housewarming gifts, most notably the 'devil duck' from Melly and the Housewarming Kit from Tara and Steve (gift cards to HBC, Home Depot, IKEA, Earls, and movie passes in a giant jar of jelly beans).
We decided that Devil Duck could hang out with Literary Ninja Duck.
Happy New Year!
Somehow we jammed about 50 people in our living room/kitchen area at midnight. The photo doesn't do it justice.
Paul's chocolate cheesecake birthday cake (with Elf Poop decoration).
Debbie's ice cream cake, which turned out to be the bane of my existence. I didn't take it out of the deep freeze early enough and it took an hour to hack off 7 slices. I honed my technique and bruised my palm on that bastard. More than 10 people told me to put it in the microwave but I couldn't get it off of the styrofoam.
You can tell it was a good party because we ended up with frosting in unusual locations (this is just one example). Also, someone left behind an octopus that says "brown" in a Marvin the Paranoid Android voice. I'd say that by the end of the night our house was thoroughly warmed.
