2008-12-31 Chronicles of Maura, Decemer 31, 2008

What an exciting day it is today for Maura! Today is New Years Eve, and Maura is here in New York! The weather was really cold though and Maura didn't like being exposed to the elements for too long. She and her mom were invited to go uptown to spend New Years Eve with her autie Becky.

Maura had a several surprises waiting for her. For one, she got to meet a new friend, Hatschamulabu! This is Hatschamulabu in the photo below.

Maura instantly became friends with Hatschamulabu.

Maura really fancied Hatschamulabu, who was wearing the same baby clothes that Becky wore when she was an infant. Maura wanted to show her blanket to her new friend, but unfortunately she had forgotten it at the apartment. Her blanket was her mommy's favorite blanket when she was an infant also. You can see that Maura and Hatschamulabu were quickly becoming great friends.

The other surprise that Maura got that evening was the chance to meet Elke! She was Becky's flatmate in London a few years back. Elka was here on holiday, and Maura loved to meet new people.
