{Not really...they were all in bed and fast asleep before 9:00. Jody and I barely made it past midnight ourselves!}
Banks and Mary Reese had a special drink to commemorate the holiday...
...they thought it was fabulous! Our little family of 5 all enjoyed a quiet dinner...
...of Boef Bourguignonne, salad and bread {Thanks Debbie}. Then we inhaled these...
...Molton Lava Cakes with ice cream! Even Owie got a bite of cake...
...that he thought it was delicious & delightful!
On New Year's Day, we had the families over for 1 last meal {I feel like that is all I have done for 2 weeks...EAT}!
Our guest were greeted at the door by this diva...
...Aunt Stacey's MIL sent this to MR. I think it is too cute on her and VERY fitting of her personality!
We had a traditional New Year's late lunch...
...smoked Boston Butt, Turnip Greens {for wealth}, Black Eyed Peas {for luck and prosperity}, Turnips, Stuffed Potatoes and Cornbread.
Debbie always "hides" dimes in the peas to add an extra boost of luck! These 2 found a dimes...
...Popsy and Uncle Topher!
We spent the rest of the day lounging and playing things like...
...bob sled on the Wii {Mario and Sonic Winter Olympics Games...very fun}!
Connect 4 x 4
and attempting to work this puzzle we started on Christmas Day! {We haven't made much progress from this picture take on NYE}
I also claimed after the kitchen was cleaned up on New Years Day that I was done cooking for a while! I did however muster up the energy to make a huge pot of...
Chicken-Tasso-Andouille Sausage Gumbo. It took a lot more stirring than I really wanted to do today...but it is made and will be fabulous on the subzero nights!
Our family hopes everyone has a safe and prosperous 2010! We can't wait to see what is in store for us in the new year!
