NEW YEAR'S EVE!!

In my mind, New Year's Eve is somewhat of a big to-do.

Friends, parties, fun.

The past several years, New Year's has been not exactly that:

Maybe a little fun watching the ball drop with Avery,

but no parties, 

and no outside-the-family friends.

Not that I'm complaining; I mean, I'm not really your "partying" kind of gal, 

so it's ok.

But this year, I was doin' something different, I decided.

So I was completely stoked that I was doing stuff with my girlfriends, sister, and new bro.

Out to dinner at The Cheesecake Factory:

Afterwards, Lydia, Toni, and I decided to make "Puppy Chow" to eat while we watched the NYC goings-on.

Ingredients and excitement:

Lydia's way of mixing the sugar with the chocolate gooey goodness:

MmmMmm!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009!!!
