This year for New Years we decided to just stay home and be our little family. We had unusually warm weather, no snow, and a little drizzle so we took a walk down the street to this little Chinese restaurant for lunch. The kids did great! It was the first time either of them used chopsticks. L tried, but then resorted to the stab approach, while D got the hang of it. We, at one point, took them away and tried to give her a fork. She was not happy.
For dinner, I picked up a shrimp ring, summer sausage, pepperoni, 3 blocks of cheese, crackers and pop. What a special treat! We then played a rousing game of Trouble! For dessert, I had a plate full of fruits, cookies, and homemade peppermint marshmallows that we dipped into a yummy chocolate dip. The kids got to stay up an hour past bedtime. Adam and I then spent the rest of the night watching Season 2 of a television show called Castle. Boy are we party animals!!!
We had a fun and full year, and are looking forward to another ahead for us. Big things coming our way this year. A possible move, D will be 4, L will be 5 and starting kindergarten. Yikes! Where has the time gone!!!
