We are celebrating the new year at home and letting the kids stay up. They are all loopy - it's cute. I am sure that if they make it to midnight they are going to be ready to pass out on even without any memory foam mattress. We are watching My Cousin Vinny. We set off some sparklers that were left over from 4th of July. Some of our redneck neighbors were shooitng off big fireworks, so we went out in the front yard and watched. :-) Free fireworks.
We did a little toast with some sparking juice Izze soda and we all stated our New Years resolutions. It was very sweet to hear the kids resolutions. Hubster and I are drinking Pina Coladas. (I am having just a taste since I am allergic to pinapple.) Earlier our dinner was meatballs in sweet and sour sauce with rice (one of my fave meals - you know the meatballs in grape jelly and chili sauce) with delish shrimp cocktail from Costco.
Tomorrow my plan is to make Texas Caviar - which is like a bean salsa with black eyed peas. I didn't even realize when I decided to make it that black eyed peas are the traditional southern food to eat on New Years day for good luck. I only thought about it when I was picking up the can of peas at the store earlier today. Funny! Maybe that means 2011 will be a good luck year for us. Hubster needs a job so please let it be so.
