New Year's Eve

Friday 12-31-10

I had a low-key New Year's Eve hanging out with our family friends, the Smith's. I spent the night at their house in East Durham, which was a new experience for me haha. The Latinos across the street were having quite the party, their music was still going when we went to bed. 

Hanging out with the Smiths was fabulous. I don't get to see them much once school gets going. 

Our evening involved Indian and Chinese take-out, a movie, Beatles Rock band (for 4 HOURS), and knitting like old ladies haha. Just like our sleepover weekends when they were living in Fayettville. I even finished a blanket that I started 2 years ago.

We also made chai and I made them rice flakes (poha) (be jealous Emily) and bought some yummy Indian biscuits from the Indian story in Durham. I also bought Frooti for the night. Seriously, my life was so complete!!

 Our Indian snack feast, chai, poha, and biscuits.

I don't think I took this one haha. All the bowls of poha.

Cooking the poha- frying up the onions, chilis, and spices. Smells so good!!

Isn't she lovely?! Erika, my new photography teacher haha, we spent all night taking pictures and playing with our cameras. The others got a little annoyed haha.

She even taught me how to do this cool thing with the Christmas tree lights.

And as we are good, under-aged young people, we brought in the New Year with sparkling cider. 

Happy New Year everybody!! 2011 is going to be awesome!!
