Kelli had to work during the day on New Years Eve at the Melting Pot.
They gave out all sorts of goodies to the customers.
Good thing Kelli is full of hot air, because she had to blow up lots of balloons.
The entryway to the restaurant was kinda crazy looking.
Kelli said goodbye to her work friends……
And my New Years Eve started with me picking up Kelli from the Melting Pot.
Ready for an evening of fun!!
After we left the Melting Pot, we went to Copelands for a drink.
Of course the drink is blocking the cleavage in the shot.
And then it was on to our final destination, Monica and Walter’s Rockin’ New Years Eve party.
I had some of the traditional Romanian drink, tuica.
I wasn’t too sure about it (it’s a plum brandy)….
And it mostly tasted like a really stong whiskey.
Kelli and this young guy did like in the chipmunks movie and shook what their mamas gave them.
Nothing says New Year like a tiara that says New Year….
And they both had one.
Feather boas are all the rage.
Walter was a great host!!
Peter sporting Ravens purple.
The house was full of party goers.
Kristi enjoyed a few cocktails….
While I enjoyed another shot of tuica, this time properly warmed.
Kristi thought it would be funny to grab my butt……
And by the time stamp of the photos…..
I can say it went on for at least 15 seconds.
I was finally able to get to my second shot.
Looks like she switched tiaras.
Tuica is stong stuff.
“Baga mi as pula” apparently means something really bad in Romanian.
The ladies drink of the evening, a cosmo.
With the drinks flowing…..
And the wackiness ensuing….
It was just about time…..
To ring in the New Year.
Well that’s all for 2009, time to start the year 0012……
But not before one last video of Kelli and me ringing in the New Year with a kiss. (Thanks Walter for the video).
