Happy New Year! December 31, 2008
2009 – I can hardly believe it!
2008 was a good year for me – it was full of a lot of 1st’s – We celebrated our 1st anniversary!!! I went to Disney World for the 1st time, we hosted our 1st holiday family meal – and I cooked…. and well lots of other little things.
Tonight is our annual new years party – which I’m really excited about! What better way than to bring in the new year with family and friends. We are expecting about 15 people tonight. We will eat food, play games and of course socialize till the wee hours of the morning.
I’ve spent the day preparing dips and foods, and cleaning up getting games out, and finishing packing up some Christmas stuff – the tree is gone! Phil has been busy cleaning his office – and getting organized, so its been a busy but low-key day.
Normally our parties are pretty casual – but this year we though it would be fun to do it formal – but quickly realized that that is not very practical at all. So as a compromise – we are doing casual dressy — mainly jeans, black shirts, dress shirts – fun sparkly jewelry! I’m just about ready for the party – except I still have to make guacamole and chocolate fondue. But I’m getting pretty good at those things – so Its becoming more of a 2nd nature then a stress! yay!
Well…. we wish you all a Happy and safe New Year – and all the best in 2009!
Will be back tomorrow(ish) to post photos of the festivites!
