This year, we had our first chistmas together as newlyweds. It was lovely. We worked on fixing up the apartment - got rid of a lot of unnecessary clutter, got some new furniture from Ikea, and reorganized almost the entire apartment. It was very tiring but really worth it. We still have a few more piles to sort out but once we do I'll post some photos of our new, little home.
The first photo is of Kelly on Christmas eve. We went to our favorite Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, Yang Chow, and got the slippery shrimp and orange peel beef - yumm, lightly fried, sweet meat! There was a bit of a wait so Kelly got a half a duck from a restaurant down the street and ate some while we waited to get our food to go from Yang Chow.
On Christmas day, Kelly made a turkey and we worked on the house some more. We both called our families (who we can't wait to see soon!) after we ate and then went to see The Waterhorse (it was great!). That night Snoops and Athena played tug of war with Snoops' Eeyore toy and there was much rejoicing in the O'Hare house.
The day after Christmas, we went to the movies again. This time we went to see the new Daniel Day Lewis epic, There Will Be Blood. The time we wanted to go turned out to be sold out so we went to The Hungry Cat, one of Kelly's most frequented restaurants in West Hollywood - they have lots of fancy fish dishes. We have since gone back to work but enjoyed our little break and look forward to coming home to Texas in a few weeks!
