Fried jalapeño poppers, fried mozzarella sticks, stuffed mushrooms, stuffed jalapeños, cheddar fondue, a cheese-ball, summer sausage in sweet and sour sauce, cracked pepper crackers, dessert quesadillas filled with blueberry cream cheese, egg nog and hot chocolate is the menu for our New Year’s Eve celebration. While filling our mouths with finger foods, my family will engage in riveting games of Phase 10, Uno, Rummikub, Scrabble and our newest game, Jenga.
With full bellies, the children will be sent to bed at 10:30 with lights out by 11. At Midnight, the start of the New Year will be sealed with a kiss as a rough, life-changing year ends and a New Year filled with exciting adventures awaits us.
Happy New Year!
