We rung in the new decade with Jess, Jason, and Sammy who came to visit from Korea (where yes, they do eat dog, but only one variety). Jess and I last spent New Year's together in 2004ish at Big Boulder Lake singing karaoke with the Gallo fam. She's our first home friend to see where we live. It was so fun having her here and meeting her beautiful family, but was also kind of like one of those dreams where all these people you know from all different places are suddenly all together in the same place. Someone from Genesee here in NZ? It messed with my head a little.
Mildly disappointing that there was no karaoke to be had this year (Jess does a mean version of Tina Turner's Proud Mary). But we tried to make up for it with tipis, pizza making, and surfing.
All Native North Americans, except Sammy. She's a Native Korean.
Holy giant fern leaf!
Venturing down jungle paths with a stroller is exhausting.
Happiest baby ever. Talia Hardie may be her best competition for smiliest baby.
Jess is a momma!
Nelson's first surf of the year.

I don't know, Nelson looks like he's afraid he might catch something from that baby! Happy New Year!
