New Year's Eve 2015 - Dale

Thursday, December 31, 2015

I posted the above pictures on Facebook on New Year's Eve. Dale hated the top one. I think he looks like an adorable little kid who gets to stay up until midnight for the first time ever and just can't contain his excitement during the countdown. Anyway, I posted the second picture in hopes he'd like it a little better. 

New Year's Eve 2015 - Mike and Charisse

Thursday, December 31, 2015

What a great evening. It was so nice to spend it with Mike and Charisse and Dale. I've know Mike since 7th grade and graduated from high school with him. Although we  acquaintances in high school, we've become good friends since reconnecting after our 25th high school reunion a few years ago. His wife Charisse is lovely inside and out. Loved spending the holiday with three people I really care about. 

New Year's Eve 2015 - Relish Tray

I made a lasagne for dinner which turned out pretty well. Dale stir fried some green beans and made some garlic bread which made the meal even better. The relish tray I put together wasn't bad either.

New Year's Eve 2015 - Gingerbread Bread Pudding

Thursday, December 31, 2015

We'll be hosting Mike and Charisse for New Year's Eve. The plan is to have lasagne just like we did on Christmas Day. I made a Betty Crocker gingerbread cake and then hacked it up and dumped a bunch of milk and heavy cream and eggs all over it and then rebaked it to make the pudding.
