New Year's Eve! 2011

For New Year's Eve 2011 we spent the evening uptown at Aria...a Lee family favorite restaurant. It is a fancy place but we usually reserve the "chef's table" so that we are seated in the kitchen and the kids can be as crazy as can be...well almost...

Pierre (owner) taking Stell on a kitchen tour. He had just come back from giving Aston a tour of the whole facility...they have a huge location with a cool loungy/bar area upstairs.

Typical fancy restaurant table with toddlers...sippy cups and goldfish mixed with wine/champagne and a cheese plate...and of course Leapsters and coloring books...
