Well we brought in the New Year in fine style. We went to Kat and Steve's to celebrate. They had lots of great food. Steve is a fantastic bartender - whipping up great Mexican Martinis and fancy girly drinks (for Stepan) with ease. At midnight, we popped Party Poppers, sampled the champagne they plan to serve at their wedding, and did the requisit first kiss. One of the best things about their party was the mix of people who attended. A very interesting group.
Our Almost-Annual New Year's Day party was a raging success as well. I made a white wine punch (yes, we're still using the wine from our wedding), used the china to set out the Texas Caviar and spiral sliced ham, offered 2 dozen of our home-made tamales, and set out our remaining Christmas cookies. Stepan made some wonderful bread and most everybody brought along another little something for the buffet. We had a great mix of people there including old friends, co-workers, and neighbors. All in all, a fine party - enjoyed by all.
