The past weekend was pretty filling, but fun (besides the fact that I have been sick with a cold all weekend). Friday night, our friend John and his kids came over for a visit. We all had a blast. Drinks, food, and video games abounded. Even though his kids are older than Jake, they always do a great job playing with him.
Saturday night (New Year’s Eve), we weren’t planning on doing anything, but another friend of Brian’s, Slim, invited us to his house for a New Year’s Eve party. We generally like to stay home, but this was a pretty low key event and Jake was welcome, so we decided to go. Slim really enjoys cooking (on the grill), so they had quite a variety of tasty grilled snacks to eat. Jake had fun playing with the two girls that were there.
Sunday (New Year’s Day) was celebrated in our usual fashion–I cooked up some pork, kielbasa, sauerkraut and dumplings and we washed that down with some sparkling wine (my current favorite is from Domaine-Ste-Michelle. we tried their blanc de blancs this time around).
Today was spent doing stuff around the house and recovering from the weekend. We also put our Christmas decorations away. I can’t believe we have to go back to work/school tomorrow.
