I was completely offline for the long weekend - it was lovely. The four of us have hung around the house for days - not running around to the zoo or science museum or friends' homes. And while we need a massive pick-up in the play areas, we are all fed from the down time.
We did celebrate New Year's with the Cedros clan - including lots of guests from Minnesota. Huge thanks to the extended group for making such fantastic food - especially Daddy-O who got the highest marks for the prosciutto-wrapped dates and Marfie for the BEST champagne and pomegranates. I made
hickory bacon and roasted corn gougeres from last month's Gourmet that turned out fantastic. In theory you can freeze them and later warm them up and they'll be just as good.
The kids lived large too with pigs in a blanket, assorted yum-yums and ice-cream sandwiches edged in sprinkles.
Em hung with the big kids until sleep took over and she snuggled deep into Moo's bed. I think she would have stayed all night - but alas we did a 9:19pm countdown and headed home for our own warm beds. A perfect end to a VERY good year.
