happy 2010!

Wow, 2010?! Has another decade really passed?! Well HAPPY NEW YEAR every­one! Hope every­one enjoyed ring­ing in the New Year. I know I did Hubby had to work, just like every other NYE, so I packed up the kids & stayed with my par­ents for the evening (4 years and count­ing). The night con­sisted of lots of fun

The night started with my brother-in-law cook­ing up a very yummy steak din­ner. A din­ner in which we real­ized that the broiler on my parent’s top of the line, must have Jenn-Air in fact does not work and we had to find alter­nate ways of cook­ing the steak. Of course, that was after Lord knows how long of fool­ing around, read­ing man­u­als, and who knows what else. But all in all, it turned out to be absolutely delicious…

After we all stuffed our­selves sense­less, we all got into comfy clothes and set out to make our sec­ond annual Mon­key Bread. Actu­ally, I should say my sis­ter and bro-in-law did, along with the help of Miss A. Ever since she made cook­ies right before Christ­mas Em and Ben, she’s been dying to cook with them again. And oh man, was it fun.

I was going to let the kids stay up to ring in the New Year, but after all the food and excite­ment of play­ing & cook­ing with my par­ents and Em & Ben, they pooped out. Oh, and of course with it being NYE and all, there was plenty of wine and cham­pagne to be had.  My sis­ter picked out a yummy bot­tle, and I must say it went down quite nice, even after the few glasses of Pinot Gri­gio I had already con­sumed. There was also the Mon­key bread and Port that we just had to have a sam­ple of before finally rolling our­selves to bed some­time after 2am:D

Over­all, it ended up being a won­der­ful NYE with my fam­ily. Tonight we’re going to din­ner at my aunt’s house to stuff our faces even more.

Happy 2010!!!
