Happy 2010!

I can't even explain to you how elated I am that I got to spend New Year's Eve in Miami with close, wonderful friends! It was a short but perfect trip filled with extensive amounts of laughter and dancing. There is a high possibility that there may have been extensive amounts of drinking as well. You may be able to tell from the pictures below that we had quite a marvelous time getting dolled up and sufficiently partying for two fantastic nights--one out on the town in Miami at club LIV and NYE night at Nora and Julio's house.

Our generous hosts, Nora and Julio--aren't they just too cute?!


We all stayed at Nora and Julio's house during the three days of festivities! (6 guests, one guest bedroom, one air mattress, and two couches)


me, Ann, and Tara--the single ladies


That's Kat in the background. She's hilarious. In the foreground, it's the three high school girls (or should I say middle school girls?!) reunited again, for the 3rd time this year!


Nora, Ann, Tara, and me


CHEEEEEESE!

I'm not sure where that fog is coming from. Lean in ladies!


Kat's husband Mark, Kat, and Julio


Kat's feet weren't made for walking (in high heels).


Self-photo--gotta love the up-close and personal ones!


me, Julio, and Tara


Ahh, the girls relaxing at the end of the night before heading back to the cars (and eating way too much late night pizza!).


NYE--getting ready for another night of partying!


Tara, Baxter, Kat, and Mark...a nice "family" photo for next Christmas...


Ann, Julio's best friend Chris, and Nora


Ann getting ready to serve her infamous jello shots...they were dangerous!


Tara and Nora with their party hats on...


Unfortunately, I did not have my camera attached to my hip this night, like I normally do, so I don't have as many pictures as I normally would. However, I might post a few more funny pictures when Nora, Tara, and Kat email their pictures my way. They'll probably complain that I'm not on Facebook, but they'll just have to get over it. :)

It's going to be a great year. 2010, here I come!
