Happy New Year!












Wow! Can you believe it is already 2009? 2008 has been so busy and quite stressful for our little family that we are eating our black-eyed peas today - not in the traditional way, though. We are grilling steaks and having Texas caviar (black-eyed pea salsa). Here's hoping that does the trick!
We spent New Year's Eve with with our friends Billy, Julie and their girls. Julie and I have been wanting to have a fondue party, and we finally got it! We had a great time! We had steak with a yummy Bernaise sauce, supreme pizza fondue that turned out scrumptious, and chocolate fondue that added a few pounds to each of us! That's OK, though, because we played wii fit afterwards. I was afraid Julie would video me looking retarded for her blog. That just shows what a good friend she is because no videos were taken.
Bailee and Kassie taught Evan the 'Firecracker' rap that was really cute. (see video) I can't believe how some things stay around forever! I remember doing that!
At midnight the girls banged pots and pans to wish our great neighbors a Happy New Year since it was too chilly for fireworks. Then they made their New Year's toasts. Apparently Evan leads a very sheltered life because after taking a drink, she asked Miss Julie if she was supposed to put her drink down on a piece of toast.
