connaticYesterday we had our fourth annual Christmas (champagne) party - the first at our new apartment. It's our one extravagance - we did not go on vacation this year, didn't do anything crazy financially (except for buying an apartment), so we felt we could go all out.
The place was packed - about 35 people, 45 bottles of champagne in some 15 different varieties, loads of food (cookies, cheeses, cupcakes, meatballs) and a lot of noise and fun. I had a great time and think all of our guests did, too. No pictures this year. It's hard to see how we can top this next year - probably with fewer people but really fancy champagne.
Today was recovery. Apart from the mild hangover, there was a lot of cleanup to be done. We ran four dishwasher loads (mostly the glassware), moved the furniture back in place, did some mild cleaning, and are now relaxing.
This is also the weekend that our washing machine seems to be going bad. The last two runs it's been complaining about the drain pump / hose - even though resetting it makes it drain and spin just fine. It's still under warranty but this is not exactly welcome news. I'm hoping it'll resolve itself.
