Happy New Years

New Years Eve
I had a very quiet New Years Eve; I spent parts of the day cleaning up after the great prefab build mess and relaxing with the kids.

For the main meal of the day Scott, Danielle, and I ate at First Wok, they have an excellent luncheon special , though Scott opted for his usual Chicken Lo Mien with no vegetables. We stopped at Hollywood video to pick up the latest Harry Potter movie (which they did not have) so a quick trip to Family Video was made where we found a single nights rental copy; must be a popular movie!

We headed back stopping at Forest Hills Foods where we picked up snacks for the evening. Scott had asked if his friend Ben could come over, I said OK, and he arrived around 8PM. Close to 9PM I baked Cinnabon Rolls for the kids and some assorted appetizers (hot dogs in puff pastry, jalapeno poppers, gourmet pizza rolls, and mini pepperoni pizzas. By 9:30 we were seated before the project TV to watch the DVD of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix which turned out to be very good!

A tired Tails gathers her strenth prior to midnight!


The kids each ate 3 Cinnabons except Scott who ate four and I enjoyed some of the other appetizers.

Ben was supposed to be picked up at 1AM but his Mom was running late so he was there until almost 2AM before we were able to retire.

New Years Day:
We had all been up late so we slept in, me getting up around 9, Danielle at 11, and Scott around 1PM. It was a quiet day mainly of relaxation, snow removal, capped off by dinner with the X at Applebees which she paid for. Watching the snow while we dined was very nice, I was glad she was driving though!

All in all, a quiet, yet enjoyable New Year!
