In 45 minutes, it will be 2009. It seems as if we just went though all the hype about the turn of the century, and here eight years have flown by already!The grands arrived in the middle of the night last night. That was not their car I heard around 8:30, but the neighbors. We've had a nice New Year's Eve, with take-out Chinese for dinner, a play written by Lyssa and performed by her, Caelen and Lily. It was very entertaining. :o)
The grands helped me arrange snacks on platters--crackers, cheeses, grapes, summer sausage, deli turkey, and cookies. We had sparkling apple cider and made fudge. We lit all of the candles around the house again. Our guests (Great-Gran, Josh and Cyrise, Reece and Aubrey) arrived around 7 PM. Everyone seemed to have a good time, but the party ended before midnight. Lots of sleepy children. :o) Reece is spending the night. He loves being with his cousins.
We didn't open Christmas gifts with them yet, but will do it tomorrow when Kelly and Mike will be here with us. We're having brisket, potato salad and whatever people bring. Very informal and relaxed. I forgot to get black eyed peas, so Ron may have to run to the store in the morning.
Happy New Year to one and all!
