MrM and MrsM have finally accepted
that MasterM and MissM
have better offers on New Year's Eve
than a night at home with their parents.

MrM made the inspired suggestion that
a family celebration on 30 December
to mark the start of the Samoan New Year
would be an acceptable compromise
and MasterM and MissM graciously agreed.

And thus our New Year's Eve celebrations
stretched over the International Date Line
and finished when MissM watched the fireworks
with the Charming MasterN on the Embankment
while MasterM recreated Hanoi's hit parade
at a Vietnamese karaoke bar.

2011, I'm liking you already.
