Every year on New Year’s Eve we have “fun food” for dinner and play games before the early count down for the younger children. Our older children stay up for more games until the ball drops at midnight.
This year we had homemade salsa w/ chips, crackers with cheese, shrimp w/ cocktail sauce, meatballs, cheese fondue, grapes, broccoli, and for dipping in chocolate we had strawberries, pretzels, marshmallows and Oreos.
We had a fine time trying new food combinations and snacking for dinner. The strawberries were by far the most popular item on the menu.
Tristan and Kaitlyn dined together. And I made the chocolate raspberry cake that Rick had wanted for his birthday.
At midnight we toasted to the new year with a bottle of grape juice and three of our kids, one of whom “dropped a ball” and thankfully made us all laugh, including himself!
Here’s to 2012!
