Happy Russian New Year

It's a few days early, but we celebrated the Russian New Year today. We got together at our friends' house with 20 of our Russian speaking friends. This picture is of Celeste with the "waiter". He is carrying a tray with what looks like really good cake. The first couple times I saw it, I thought the cakes were real. But alas, they are fake.

For the party we had all sorts of Russian foods such as pelmeni, piroghis, Russian potato salad, Martinelli's, black bread, and a host of other dishes. Did I mention desserts? Yeah, lots of those too.

Happy Russian New Year! С Новым Годом!
