The new year is fast approaching, only 2 more days to go. Wow, 2010! It sounds so 'futuristic' doesn't it? What are your plans for New Years Eve? We will be going next door to celebrate with our great neighbors and her family. Cheryl's boys Connor and Justin left on Dec 20th to spend this Christmas with their Dad in Atlanta GA, they also (unbeknown to them at the time) were going to drive to Disney World the next day and drive back to GA on Christmas Eve). We've all missed them so much, especially Kristen who plays with Connor every day, and we can't wait til they arrive home on Thursday afternoon - just in time for the New Year celebrations.
I always call my family back home in England on New Years Eve. What's funny about it is I call at 6pm, or just a few minutes after, and it's already midnight there :-) It's strange hearing everyone laughing and shouting 'happy new year' to me when it's only 6 o'clock and I'm usually just starting to get ready for the evening, but it's fun too. This year Cheryl has decided to have a 'Martini Party' so we girls are going to dress up in our fancy gear and mix up yummy 'tinis'. I think the idea started with my 'Snowtinis' that I made at my bookclub Christmas party, and the fact that Cheryl bought me a cocktail shaker with some martini glasses for Christmas (a long with lots of other goodies too) because I didn't have one and had to use my plastic smoothie shaker! Should be fun, but I will be sure not to have too many - they're way too potent for me!
So, what are your plans for New Year? Will you even stay up til midnight to 'see the New Year in'? I know some friends can't even stay awake that long ;-)
Here's a few more pics to share today... I took these using my new Nikon Coolpix camera I got for Christmas. It's nice and small and can fit in my purse so I can take it with me much easier than my other 'chunky' one I have!
I cut in to my yummy 'Christmas Cake', it is delicioius :-)Here's Kristen on her new bike from Santa....

Hi Denise! It's so nice to be such good friends with your neighbors. Youy NYE plans sound fun and if you do have too many "tini's" it's just a short stumble home. ;) Very Desperate Housewives! Jeff is working NYE so I hope he doesn't have to get out for too many auto accidents. His station is right by the famous Dead Man's Curve on Sunset Blvd. Do you know that old song by Jan & Dean? (((Hugz)))
thanks for your email :o)
we don't do anything for NYE. I'm sure when Humbug is older she'll get a kick out of being up until midnight, but for the time being I'm more than happy to sleep through from one year to the next! I am so rock 'n' Roll! ha ha ha.
How is your mum? Hope she had a good Christmas and is getting her strength back.
2010, I know, it doesn't sound possible. I remember when we went from 1999 to 2000 and everyone said all the computers in the world would go beserk at midnight. That didn't happen!

ooo that Christmas cake looks so yummy!! Your new camera sounds so nice, I would really like to get a smaller one for carrying around. I love my cannon but it is a little on the big and clunky side. Happy New Year!! I have to work New Years Eve, but plan to maybe watch a few movies and be awake to celebrate the new year :o)
The cake looks wonderful!!!! You did such a nice job with it. Shall I stop over later for tea and a piece of cake, or maybe tomorrow for Elevensies?! Shame we're not closer.
Kristen's new bike looks very snazzy. She obviously was a very good girl.
I do exactly the same thing on New Years. At six o'clock I get a very Merry call from my family in England wishing we a Happy New Year. It's always so much fun, but a little odd.
Hi Denise. The show I mentioned is an ABC news show- sort of part of 20/20. It's usually on at @ 10PM but is on hiatus now like most shows.
Jeff and I saw Nine today. We like to see the shows getting Oscar buzz. (Hugz)))
Hi Denise!! Have fun with your new year plans!!
Josh and I are going to visit my parents and then we will come home and probably watch the ball drop on tv. We usually stay up. Have a great time and Happy New Year!!
