MADE IT

Well I made it to midnight last nite.  Our company stayed until about 12:30 which was perfect for me.  The meal was great.  I had lasagna that Sandy made for the hunters which they didn't get around to eating so I served that with some garlic cheese bread.  Ute made the salad which was delicious and Mary made the desert.  Ron made some amazing Hors d'oeuvres (had to look up the spelling of that one) of bacon wrapped partridge.  Dipped in real maple syrup of course.  Everything taste better when dipped in real maple syrup.
We had a late dinner and then played some Kinect - bowling and darts.  We finished the night up with a rip roaring game of Uno - you really know who your friends are during one of these games.
Ute and Roger also brought along a bottle of Champagne so we toasted the new year in.  Roger also made us stand on our left foot and then step down onto our right foot at the stroke of midnight.  That way we are starting the new year off on "the right foot".

The last picture is of Charlie and Monty enjoying a desert in Bansko Bulgaria where they are vacationing.  They have mastered the sledding and tomorrow will be taking skiing lessons.
Cute hats!!!
