Out with the old and in with the new...New Years Eve. That time of year when most people pledge to lose those extra pounds, stop a nasty habit, or start a good habit.
We've all seen the movies where there are lavish parties...beautiful dresses, lots of champagne, and of course the famous midnight kiss! I will not have such a lavish evening. I enjoy the quiet of staying at home and spending time with hubby and the girls. I had always dreamed of going to that glamorous party... but when Chris left 2 years ago for a month long business trip to China on New Years Eve, well, my thoughts changed. Friends and family invited me to go out or come over, but I declined. Bella, then 4, and Charlotte, almost one, and I just stayed home. We played games, ate whatever, and watched movies...I loved it! There was no pressure of what to wear or what to bring-who I would kiss at midnight was a no-brainer :)
This year I will stay home, too...Bella is sick. However, I'm sure there will be a movie to watch and a game or two to play. I'll be making lobster and prawns for dinner and dessert...well that's for after the kids are sleeping!
Happy New Years! And CHEERS for what this next year may bring!
