WELCOME 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I can't believe we're almost at the end of January and I hadn't even posted pictures of New Year's Eve until now. I'm so bad at updating our blog, but one of my New Year's resolutions is to update it more often, so I hope I really become better at that.

We decided to welcome in 2008 at Planet Hollywood just like we did last year. The thing is that they have a themed party every year, they organize lots of games for the kids, and it's super laid back, so we don't have to worry about the kids being quiet at a restaurant. Last year the party's theme was Disney characters, so the kids had to dress like their favorite one. When we made the reservations for this year we looked up Planet Hollywood on the Internet and the theme was the same, so we thought Alan would wear the same thing as last year. However, I thought that it was weird that they would have the same theme two years in a row, so I decided to check it out on the morning of the 31st and the description for the party was different this time. At the last minute they changed the theme of the party to a Pirate one. As you can imagine, this isn't a country where kids dress up a lot and they barely sell any costumes, so I thought we wouldn't find anything, especially a pirate one and having to find it so fast. But we ended up going to this toy store where they had a really cute one, so we were all set.



We had a lot of fun. Alan became friends with a cute two and a half year old little girl dressed up as a princess (she didn't hear about the theme on time) and they were just playing and laughing all night. The girl's dad (in the picture) ended up being exhausted because they wanted him to spin them around and the little girl wouldn't let any of us do it. It had to be her dad, so we felt so bad for him, but he was really happy to see how much fun they were having. Alan participated in different games they had and ended up winning the costume contest. Eric had a lot of fun playing with a bunch of balloons that they had and watching Alan being silly playing and dancing with his friend.


We hope this year keeps being as fun as how it started and we hope this year brings lots of blessings, health and love to all of you and your families.
