We'll be keeping our decorations up just a bit longer. My daughter fell asleep in her new snow white sleeping bag/pillow combination "thing" well before 10PM, so she didn't make it to New Years. But that's alright. She wouldn't understand right now anyway. We have had a time explaining to her that Santa is now on vacation and won't return till next season. That will be an interesting time indeed.

My husband and I had a nice date night, and I enjoyed his company very, very much. We've not had a long weekend in some time, so this weekend has also been great! I made him a Mexican turkey egg bake for breakfast that was oh so yummy this morning. Then we had summer sausage, mozzerella wrapped in some Italian meats and marinated  then sliced up for crackers. We had two mustard sauces. A tangy Dijon type mustard and a Cranberry Mustard that was very nice with the summer sausage. I also pulled out some jalepeno and cheddar cheese that my husband had wanted. A huge splurge for us, but it was delicious as can be. That lasted us very well, so we only had a small bit of bread for a snack before bed. We didn't pig out at all, and I think we did a great job of not over eating through the whole season!

In the morning I'll make a potato breakfast pie that will warm up the house and then probably start some potato soup for lunch and some to go with dinner if there is any left!

Well, I better get some rest. It's nearly 3:30AM here, and the babies will be up early in the morning as always.

Warm blessings and love to everyone, and may your New Year shine bright in your hearts.
