New Year's 2016

New Year's Eve came quickly, and we were ready to celebrate! And by celebrate, I mean return from Mass, change into pajamas, and relax and eat until midnight. Here are a few pictures of our cozy celebration welcoming a brand new year...

My little one all ready for Mass on New Year's Eve...

and then later during a very tense game of Sophia the First Uno. : )

Our spread included crab dip with toasted bread, meat, cheese, and crackers, taco dip with tortilla chips, and Peyton's chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter icing.

Our table was set...

with all things festive. And yummy.

We had some friends in later who surprised us with this, and we enjoyed some visiting long past midnight.

Meanwhile, across the ocean, and six hours earlier, my firstborn celebrated the New Year with her Nicolas and his wonderful family.

She had a wonderful time. And I was so very happy for them both. : )

I have no pictures of New Year's Day, because...let's face it...we slept late...took naps...and watched The Twilight Zone all day long. The perfect way to start the new year, don't you think?

Happy and Blessed New Year, my friends.

Thanks for visiting!
