This year celebrated New Years Eve with family! It was fun to have cousins come and play with us and eat, drink, and be merry together to ring in the New Year 2010! We had a feast of foods to choose from: Apples, caramel, artichoke and seven layer dips, various potato chips, sodas, Pineapple Colada drink with Ginger ale. Our dinner theme was Asian foods and we ate: shrimp, Vegetable and Pork Egg Rolls, Pot stickers, three types of lettuce wraps and sauces (thanks Amy!), fried Raman noodles, sticky rice, Edamame (soy beans in the pod)... For desserts we had (homemade) pecan pies, Raspberry Silk Pie, Pumpkin pie and whipped cream, chocolate covered pretzels and cookies, etc. Upstairs, the "big" cousins watched Harry Potter & the Half-blood Prince and the families downstairs watched Night at the Museum: Battle at the Smithsonian. Uncle Dave helped Grandpa Campbell with his computer. LavonAlise talked to us in the living room before heading home early. We celebrated "midnight" early, around 10:00 p.m. for those with small children. We lit fireworks and poured Creamy Pina Colada and Ginger Ale drinks. Some Fun Recipes:
