We always used to ring in New Years with friends...
but ever since 2002, the year we had Sydney, we've kind of started having our own New Years celebration as a family. It's really nice just staying home together.
My hubby chose the menu which usually consists of his favorite hors d'oeuvres - and some of the girls favorites too... here's what I made:
caprese salsa on toasted baguettes
We all agree it beats going out -
and now, we have some great leftovers for New Years Day - gotta have snacks while watching football. ;o)

Yummy! Good that I just finished breakfast, your snacks look mouthwatering. We celebrate New Years Eve always with friends, except for this year, as I have been ill and wanted to stay at home with just our little family. Just like you! I have to say it was great!
Have a happy and healthy 2009, thanks for your beautiful posts and blog friendship in 2008! Let's make 2009 even a better year!
Looks so good. Have a wonderful happy new year !

You were busy with all of that cooking-all set for today's football-I think *at home*hangouts are the best! I like the dress the best-pj's!
Have a wonderful New Year!

All I can say is "YUM"! Happy New Year!
Thank you for stopping by! I love your vintage rhinestone clocks. I have been wanting one for a long time. It is on my long list of wants! LOL I must say that it is neat that we have two four year old girls! They are wonderful. Jane is only 13 months younger so I am having so much fun (usually)watching them play and fight and getting in there with them too.
Thank you for your compliments. I bought that wreath many years ago and that half doll is one of the pin cushions I have made. I, to this day, wish that I didn't sell it because that girl is so darn cute!
Happy New Year! I tell you, you did it right. Family is what it is all about and your food looked delicious. I don't really like seafood but those crusted shrimp looked yummy! I would have tried one.
I look future to reading and viewing more of your post!
hugs, Ellen
It all looks so wonderfully elegant!!!
Happy New year!!!
