We left around 10 or so, and I made peasant pizzas at home to wait for the New Year to come in. Robert, Holly, and Trev were on the couch watching something. Quite literally, I was fixing pizza, glanced at the clock, and said, "Guys, it's 2 minutes past midnight!" Response: "Gosh, Mom, didn't you hear us just say it was midnight and cheer for the new year?" I DO tend to live in my own little bubble!
Pizza with creme freche (okay, it's sour cream), sauteed mushrooms and onions, thinly sliced apple, shaved parmesan and blue cheese--on top of homemade dough.

Me with Pumpkin in my hair!

FINISHED the pencil puzzle from Lori! A challenging one to be sure, but not to the point of being impossible!
Followed quickly by another puzzle--
and a wonderful three day weekend full of genealogy and loads of cooking:
Baked potato soup and bruschetta
Shrimp scampi
cookie dough (no baking here!)
banana bread
And this amazing dinner: weinerschnitzel, mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy, sauerkraut, and sweet and sour red cabbage .

Snowed in for the day--a free day off of work!

Trevor's delicious dinner of Chicken Alfredo.

To Ballast Point with the Schroes and Dalls. It's tough getting this guy to take a picture.
Sour wench. As in Sour Raspberry Ale! And Peg, Canadian-turned-U.S. citizen, with her poutine! I must add that we are on the second floor that she engineered, along with the leaning window.

And another puzzle. I liked this design, different top and bottom.

And the month winds up with the lunar eclipse on January 31! It was super cold that morning, and I was going to skip it--but Robert found it for me. It was beautiful, although we missed the eclipse by minutes after the moon sank down below our beloved Tinker Mountain!
