I cannot believe it is New Years Eve already! Yet another year seems to have got away from me. Makes me glad to be a Digital Scrapper really, the camera goes everywhere so i am sure i caught most of the years happenings..now to locate it all on the pc! haha!!
Thank you to everyone who left comments on my post yesterday!! It was so great to get them, hosting this blog is nothing like having your own!! (You really want to get this one right - it's quite nerve wracking!)
So what are we up to...
The girls asked if they could bake some snickerdoodles (I got a new cookie recipe book!!) today so i let them loose in the kitchen! I have to say they are scrummy even if i did get left with the dishes in exchange for a taste of one!! Who taught kids to be so shrewd?!
David has been playing on his DS (the best thing i ever bought the kids!!) with his new Star Wars game that Santa bought him.
And me? Well i am now preparing for this evening when we will be seeing out 2007 and seeing in 2008. There is a bacon joint in the oven and wine in the fridge!! The rest i can cook tomorrow. New year is not a hugely celebrated tradition in our house but we quietly sit and watch the fireworks outside with a nice glass of bubbly! I think because Richard, my Dad and my brother all do shift work we phone each other at about 10pm and again in the morning but have stopped doing the midnight calls!!
As tomorrow is what we call a non-day (nothing happens and it is normally quite boring!), some close friends of ours are coming over for the day. We alternate who hosts and this year it is our turn! All the kids get on and we just sit and chat, play games and generally just hang around doing not a lot!! This year we have the XBox360 that i got for Christmas so we will probably be competing with each other on that!!
So it is for me to Wish you all a very Happy New Year, I wish all of you a wonderful time in 2008. May all your hopes and dreams come true.
Here is another gift for you (link has expired). Enjoy. HAPPY NEW YEAR.

The cookies look great - I even made some and put some red and green sprinkles on them this year for Christmas :) We too will have a non-day or two and then the new year begins. Hoping our GS will be over as he is on leave from the army but must go back within a day or two, so waiting on his schedule. Hope you have a wonderful New Year, and thank you and Karen for the gift :)

My m-i-l used to make snickerdoodles for Christmas, so my hubby has fond memories of them. I never had the chance to taste one of hers, and had never even heard of them until marrying into the family. I really need to hunt down a recipe for them and give them a try, as so many others seem to love them too.
Thanks for today's freebie!
Never heard of snickerdoodles but they look great!! Congratulations girls on doing a fabulous job?

Wishing you and your family a fun filled, good health and much lovin kinda year.
