We decided to host our 2nd annual "No Better Plans" NYE party and it was yet another surprising success. We had 24 people show up throughout the night, many of them under the age of 7. We counted down the New YEar on Praia time (8pm Toronto Time) and followed that up with a costume parade down our street. A very very fun night...and they party went until 2am...we still have it in us. Probably our 2nd best party to date (2nd only to "Nothing to Break, Nothing to Steal")
Trying to get a group shot of the Chaves-Boodlini children.
Buffet style party food and toddlers are always interesting.
The boys essentially ate cheezies and chocolate for supper...not a bad way to end the year.
Wilbert and his drinking buddy, Paddy.
A group shot of the Praian people of Grafton Avenue after the celebratory parade.
Stephen and our wonderful neighbours from the other side of the brick
Later on that evening...just when we thought things couldn't get any weirder....
Gussette joins the party...the children sleep peacefully upstairs.
Re-enactment of the immortal maternity shot/non-sexual life partner style.
Ned perform's the March from Verdi's Aida on french horn kazoo. Not too shabby for an IT Professional.

Dear Natasha:
