One of the presents Julie received was a fondue pot. I wasn't sure she would like it, but then the day before Christmas, Julie saw one at the store, and said, "Ohh, I'd love to get a fondue pot!"

So we broke it in on New Years Eve. I found a really tasty recipe on the interwebs for fondue, and we also had hour traditional Dungeness Crab. The kids LOVE crab, and really enjoyed the fondue as well. I mean, it's like finger food, but with different tools and different interaction, and mmmmmmm.



We had the kids stay up until 9, so they could see the ball drop and associate NYE with a world wide, if not country wide, celebration. They started to get a little tired after having a yummy dinner, but we then had a dance party, and they perked right up. When it got close to the top of the hour, we turned on the television, and Julie brought out some pots and pans, and a few horns for us to blow into. We watched the ball drop, and then made lots and lots of noise! And kids love to make noise!

I think the fell asleep by 9:15.
