New Year's Celebration

Our family got to ring in the New Year from home, yet again! After spending Christmas with extended family, we enjoy having a more intimate celebration at home for New Year’s.

On New Year’s Eve, we had a special dinner of Hawaiian Sweet Roll Sammies, chips and salsa, veggies with dip, grapes, pretzel salad, peanut M&M’s (leftover from Christmas) and Coca Cola Cake. It was good!

After we ate, we played a board game in front of the fire. “Aggravation” has quickly become a family favorite! J

At 11 p.m. our time, we were all in the den in front of the TV. We watched the ball drop in Times Square and shouted with loud jubilation at the arrival of the New Year. Even though it hadn’t come to Texas yet. J

After a late night, we slept in and then had our New Year’s Day brunch! French Toast Casserole is an annual treat around here!

New Year’s Day was spent working on projects and relaxing. It was nice to have a quiet holiday at home as a family!
