Forrest and Gary have celebrated New Years together since (at least) 2002.
I came into the picture 5 years ago and the three of us have celebrated the arrival of the new year each year since then.
Two years ago Forrest and I met Alexis for the first time on New Years Eve and the four of us toasted to 2010 and 2011 together.
So...it is only appropriate that they come to visit to celebrate the arrival of 2012 with us in NC! We are also excited that our friends Ava & Robin (who live just down the road since we moved) will be joining in the fun as well.

Cheese Tortellini Skewers w/ Pesto Dip
Baked Lasagna Bites
Mini Pizza Rolls
Caprese Salad Bites
I kind of want to lay it out on chalkboard contact paper like this...
And for dessert I want to do a Hot Chocolate Bar w/ marshmallows, caramel & pirouettes
And Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip...
I want to make something like this and put it at the front door
and I want to wear something sparkly, glittery, or with sequins...
What are your News Years plans?
