New Year's


Well, this morning we woke up to a beautiful landscape of winter snow. We got about 8" and are officially snowed in. What a great restful way to start the New Year! We had a low key New Year's Eve yesterday and went to dinner together at Brio. A nine month pregnant New Year's Eve is a little different than some of our past days. We did make it up for midnight and toasted what we think will be a landmark year with some sparkling cranberry juice. This morning Brian made breakfast sandwiches for us both, and is like a kid on Christmas with all the college bowl games to watch. He has nothing to do but sit and watch football with his surround sound, except of course attending to a manic request from his 9-months pregnant wife to go outside and shake the heavy snow off the front aboriviteums so they don't break. You know you have a fabulous husband when he doesn't complain at such an admittedly silly request.

We have already shopped and purchased our food for the first day of 2008, Mrs. Hunter's Taco Dip and a fruit platter for appetizers, Fettucini Alfredo and Steak Diane for dinner, and Carvel Flying Saucers for dessert. All in all a perfectly relaxing way to usher in what might not be that relaxing of a 2008 for the Davies household.
