New Year's with friends

The adults had a playdate on New Year's Eve as well. Thanks to Kati and Matt for hosting us! They always have either a Christmas party or New Year's Eve party, and this was the first time I was able to attend in many years.


Emma, Kati, and I have been good friends for a long time. Kati and I went to school together from Kindergarten through 12th grade. Emma joined us in high school, but we were already friends through our Hungarian activities. The three of us celebrated many New Year's Eves together about 20 years ago, often in Seven Springs, Pennsylvania. I didn't find a photo of the three of us on New Year's, but here are the three of us on two other occasions.
