Happy New Year!

For New Year's Eve, we had J.C. and Mom & Dad Smullin with us.

We made the plan for the night; dinner, games, snacks, games, snacks, snacks, snacks and watch the ball drop with Dick Clark at midnight.

I made something new, Peanut Clusters (with crushed potato chips for that salty/sweet thing).

And we had something old, (or should I say traditional) a cheese ball or "Ball Cheese" as Rylee calls it.

We also purchased some firework poppers for when the ball dropped and the clock struck midnight.

We started the evening with a turkey dinner (Thanks for the turkey donation Clawson's. It was yummy!)

Then the gaming and snacking commenced. First up was "Apples to Apples". Much coercion and smack talking went on....all friendly, of course. Taylee was the stealthy, silent type winner, while J.C. was the loud, in-your-face LOOSER. (Just teasing you J.C.!) Then it was on to UNO...all the while snacking away.

When it was a few minutes til, we went upstairs to watch the New York ball drop. Dick Clark was there (along with Ryan Seacrest) to welcome in 2010.

10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1.....HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I'm excited to see what this year brings.
