Well welcome to 2008 everybody :). I hope you all had a wonderful time however you saw in the new year.
We saw the night in by sitting around with some wine and chatting!
Today has been spent with my poor hubby having to work from 8 -6 but i had friends over to celebrate and swap some more presents with the children!
My Dad sent a Christmas pudding for us all to eat (this thing is HUGE!!) so i took the opportunity to prove we ate it:
So it has been a really quite new year for us but a very pleasant one non the less :).
So here is another small gift to welcome you into 2008. You can get it here (link has expired).

Sounds like you had a nice New Year celebration. We spent a quiet evening at home. Thank you for the beautiful quick page.
I love the pics Gil :) Looks like you are all having a wonderful time :) Actualy even though it was our anniversary we spent a quiet night at home with baby. We ate some pizza, watched a movie and called it an early night :) We are going out sometime later for an anniversary dinner :) Happy 2008 :)
TY both so very much for another AWESOMWE QP!!!!!!!
Happy New Year to you, Gill! We took our karaoke and went to a friend's house. It's a tradition with us by now :) It's always a huge party (their whole family comes). The adults were at one end of the house singing karaoke and the kids were at the other, playing rock star or something - I don't know what it's called for sure. But we all had fun!
