My New Year's Eve

This New Year's Eve I didn't do anything spectacular. Usually on New Year's Eve I get a carrot cake

and Martinelli's Sparkling Cider

and we let all the kidlets stay up late to ring in the New Year and hear all the fireworks, horns, shouting, and gunfire that goes on around here at midnight. But this year was very different for us because it's the first year our oldest wasn't here. Because she's living on her own and going to college. Also our 15-year-old was invited to spend the night with a friend. So this year it was just my husband and I with our 12-year-old son. So we bundled up on the couch, I made some tea (we had Martinelli's, but it was pretty chilly out), and we watched some movies. Not exciting but it felt very nice and cozy and happy! On the stroke of midnight there was such a commotion outside I just had to go out to listen. I think I have a pretty lively neighborhood! Ha ha ha! So that's how New Year's Eve went around here. I hope you stayed safe and that you made some fabulous resolutions you can stick to! Goodbye 2012. Helloooo 2013!! Taniya   P.S. Want to know what nail polish I'm wearing? Click on this !
