Last night Vinita and Manesh had their annual holiday party. At first we didn't think we'd get to go (or, at least, not together) because Brooke couldn't sit for us two nights in a row. But Vinita's au pair found us another au pair who was available; and whereas I would normally be nervous about leaving the kids with someone new, I figured that being directly across the street would put me at ease. And it did. We had a lovely time, hanging out with friends from the neighborhood as well as some other people we met at their party last year and really enjoyed. (Isn't that a curious phenomenon, when you look forward to being with certain people whom you see only at a mutual friend's parties?) So I think we are all partied out for the season, although I always imagine throwing our own party one of these days. We've never really entertained more than two couples at a time, aside from family.
