happy new year's weekend


we're off to utah for new year's.
we also have to take margo back to school, boo hoo.
  roxy is coming too. 


after picking up eight dvd's at redbox, we're off!




drive-by colorado mountain views, that i love.


five hours and counting and a rest stop stop.


 london living emma, paul's niece, is visiting grandma and grandpa for the holidays too.
what a treat to be with you, emma!
many hours of the weekend were spent pouring through old photo albums


and eating grandma's divine dishes.
there is just nothing else like a family table laden with her south african cooking
shared with grandparents, grandchildren, aunts, uncles and cousins.


what a treat to be altogether at this familiar family table
shipped along with the side board from "the beehive" the family home in cape town.


we next met together on new year's eve!!


we all met at tessa's house for 
dinner and then desserts from
the sweet tooth fairy!!






we turned tessa's living room into a disco!!


and it all got crazy from then on through the night!








the countdown to................midnight!!


happy new year!!


tuckered out disco dancing cousins.


and tired dancing feet, thanks tessa - what a blast!!!!!!
