Happy New Year + Two Parties...

We're gearing up for our New Year's eve fondue dinner with Miss Aimee and fam. Thanks for all your excellent fondue suggestions. I'm going with Stephanie's recommendation to try the Williams-Sonoma recipe. I'll let you know how it turns out... and if it's a bust, I've stocked up on bubbly, sparklers, charades and karaoke CD's for the girl's new karaoke machine (a gift from the grandparents...) as insurance.

And tomorrow, we're having a belated b-day party for Millie + celebrating New Year's day with a big pot of white bean chicken chili, bloody marys and mimosas, and yes cupcakes (it is a two-year-old's birthday party after all...) We did this last year to great acclaim, so I'm thinking we'll make it a yearly tradition.

What are you doing to ring in the new year?
