New Year's Celebration

After spending so much time traveling to Pennsylvania and Ohio over Christmas, we had a very low-key New Year’s Celebration as a family.

On New Year’s Eve, we had a special dinner of country chicken chowder, crackers and chips with hummus, Jalapeno artichoke dip, and English muffin bread.

We used our fireplace for the first time that night! The cat had no idea what to think of it after being accustomed to a glassed-in gas fireplace. The real fire was just a little too unpredictable for her to enjoy.

We ate in the living room and watched a video that we had received as a Christmas gift.

When that was finished, we just relaxed and waited for midnight to roll around.

Around 11:45 p.m., we all gathered in our guest room to watch the ball drop on our TV in there. There was much shouting and celebration at 12:00:00 a.m. J

We all slept in the next morning. Once we kids got up, we gathered in the guest room on the hide-a-bed couch to watch part of the Rose Bowl parade before breakfast.

We ate a delicious breakfast of French Toast Casserole and spent the rest of the day just enjoying our time together!
