HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM NY!

hi everyone! it's corey and leila! new years in new york was soopah fun. we were at jake's house with lily, eloise, rachel, lydia, and hannah (a nice chewonki ratio) and we tried making a ginger bread house, but like all chewonki ginger bread houses...we didn't finish it. in the process we skyped with noah (who couldn't make it because he cut his thumb with an exacto-knife....again) and we also skyped with aidan. we watched the third and fourth harry potter movies (with a 10 second interruption for the ball dropping). during those movies, we decided to play a little harry potter drinking game--this consisted of drinking every time hermione was anxt-y (spelling?), when the twins spoke in unison, when dumbeldore revealed a secret that he was too wise to share with you, and when mad-eye-moody drank his poly juice potion. it was loads of fun! we played in the snow, trying not to step in jake's dog's poopie. we ended up in a nice chewonki circle--twas cute. we also played the world's longest game of beer pong. then the night really took off when mr. and mrs. stamell returned home from their 10 course dinner. some memorable quotes were: "why didn't you make them a tequila sunrise-mom" "because you said no-jake" "well you shouldn't have listened-mom"/ "do you want anything for the morning-jake" "just a tequila sunrise-mom"/ "jake's toast has to be at least three sentences or else he won't make a good toast for the rest of his life-mom"/ history of champagne from mr. stamell.....and those were just the super funny ones. all around it was an amazing night and we had so much fun! but we missed the rest of semester 45.

ps. the superbowl this year is number XLV..........it's a sign
