Toastin' in the New Year of 2009!

Jan 1, 2009 at 4:15 PM

I can't believe this is the year I will turn 39!!! My last year of the 30's decade. Every year we are given is a gift.

We celebrated the new year with some friends dipping goodies into an overflowing chocolate fountain! Picture the three moms present scraping off the last remnants of the gooey substance so "it wouldn't go to waste!"

Nothing like a fountain of chocolate!

The weather this evening was NOT warm yet we dared to brave the cold around a blazing cauldron of fire. It kept us pretty toasty for the couple of hours that we sang silly songs and told stories!

We spent the last hour of the night watching the battles scenes of Prince Caspian until the final minutes near midnight drew near. Of course, we had to turn on Dick Clark and watch that ball drop! Here we are toastin' in 2009!
