Given these new golf plans, we had several options for our New Year's Eve plans, and although we tried to make a couple of them work, the one that seemed to be the right one was hanging out, just the four of us, at home.
We improvised because we didn't really have a formal plan, and came up with the New Year's Eve Smorgasbord! We had cheese, sausage, and crackers; cheese fondue with apples, bread, carrots, and mushrooms; olive and tomato tapanade with marbled rye; and lastly, at Madelyn's request, was fruit dip with apples, grapes, and strawberries! Everyone got to pick their own specialty drink. Daddy chose a stout beer, Mommy chose a mimosa, and Madelyn chose a root beer! She thought it was really cool to drink her root beer from a wine glass. ;)
It was a perfectly relaxed and fun evening together, one where we could focus on each other and the blessings we continue to receive every day. Chris and I commented on how wonderful this last-minute plan worked out, and that we should perhaps make it a new yearly tradition!
Cheers, Everyone! May 2013 be filled with many blessings, including much time with family and friends, and more relaxation than you know what to do with!
