Celebrating on New Year's Eve 2011

Wearing the necklace

I got from the party game

at Anette's

New year's eve I spent with a few close friends at Dag's house.

Making

Waldorf salad..

.. to go with the turkey!

Yum!

Vidar's best friend,

Jakob

My good friend,

Dag

Then "Japaner'n" arrived

- Asaki

Asaki has spent several months

working on a Japanese guide book on Scandinavian big cities,

doing research for the part about Oslo,

and could finally show off the fruits

of her labor; Dag even contributed with

a few photos for the book

Wictoria showing how Norwegians

are crazy about barbecuing in the parks

in the summer

*Sigh* I know some of the next photos will cause my mom to worry, since she herself does not consume alcohol and insist that it doesn't take more than just smelling a glass of alcohol-containing beverage to get you drunk and stupid.


I'm a very responsible drinker, ma!

Hei, mamma!

Hei, mamma!

And for desert:

chocolate fondant with 

vanilla ice cream

and berries!

A few minutes before midnight we went up on the roof:

Japaner'n was given something sparking with fire,

so she was kept entertained for a several minutes

.. who am I kidding,

we were all kept entertained for several minutes

After welcoming the new year we went back in and drank even more responsibly.

And then Vidar and I walked hand-in-hand for one hour in the snow and got home by 4 am.


Happy New Year!
