DF kindly came to pick me up at the airport, and she took me directly to their family friends' New Year's Eve party.
There were four couples (including DF and MF), their kids and tons of food at the house. American home parties are always plenty of food. They eat and chat ... a lot, and I had a good time to get involved :)
We celebrated a new year with champagne at midnight, and saw fireworks from the windows of the sun room. A happy New Year!
