New Year's Eve

Thursday we spent the evening at home. We rung in the New Year as a family. We made fajitas for dinner. They were yummy! Kaitlynn loved the sparkling white grape juice she picked out. She drank half the bottle by the end of the night! Dave played Wii and Kaitlynn and I built a house for her doggy with the MegaBlocks. She also gave her doggy a haircut at her new hair salon station. Dave and I enjoyed some Pinot Noir. We made cheese fondue and watched a little bit of the NYE program on ABC. I attended the Virtual New Year's Eve Party on MomsLikeMe.com. It was a lot of fun! At midnight, we had a champagne toast (Dave and I did, Kaitlynn drank sparkling white grape juice), popped poppers and blew horns. We called family to wish them a Happy New Year. At around 1AM, Dave remembered that we wanted to eat 12 grapes at midnight. So we did, even though it was a little late. Hopefully it will still bring us luck! We ended the night / started the year with some coffee (hot chocolate for Kaitlynn).

Wine and Cheese

Saturday, Dave and Kaitlynn went to the Zoo. Dave said they had a great time and Kaitlynn came home asleep.

That evening we went to Eileen and Stephen's for a wine and cheese night. Emily, Christopher, Ella, Tara, Jonathon, and Bailey also came. Every couple brought a wine (or grape juice). It was great sampling different wines, wines that we normally wouldn't buy. Eileen had an excellent spread of food. She is such a great hostess.

Wine Tasting

Tuesday night I went to a friend's house (Casey). She was hosting a Girls Night Out Wine Tasting. She did a lot of research and typed up several pages of information for us. There were about 8 girls that attended and everyone brought wine. We had 3 reds and 5 whites (wines, of course). Casey provided different types of cheeses that went with the different wines. It was a nice time. She really went all out.

When I got home, Dave and I got to spend some time together because he had Kaitlynn in bed.
