Well that was fun right? Did everyone have a nice holiday?

I have to admit, ours was pretty perfect. We jetted down to San Diego for the day on Christmas eve to attend our best friends annual party. There were gift exchanges, great food, hilarious and very excited children, new babies to hug, and lots of smiles and laughs.

We made it home that evening in time for The Hubs to make his famous overnight breakfast casserole and eat our “Santa cookies”. The next morning we spent a lazy day eating, drinking, spoiling the dogs and watching movies.

People asked me why I didn’t stay longer in San Diego. This is why. I absolutely love our non-committal, freeform holiday. It’s so nice to have zero obligations.

As tradition in my house dictates, I spent today cleaning and packing up all the holiday decorations and the tree (the holiday is OVER, no need to linger), and am now turning my focus to New Years Eve.

Generally The Hubs and I could not care less about New Years Eve. It’s just another night around here, and we rarely both make it until midnight, but this year our dear friends are coming from Seattle, so I want to make it at least a little festive.

You know someone is your best friend when your text conversation goes something like this;

Jenny: What if we come for New Years?

Me: Does this mean we have to go out? (filled with dread)

Jenny: We’d prefer not to.

Yesssssssssssss. Love my hassle free holiday friends! You get me!

With that being said, The Mazzeo’s are our biggest foodie friends and not a gathering goes by without some fabulous food and drink.

Antipasto skewers

 I love a meal of snacks so I’m cooking up these super simple antipasto skewers to get us started followed by dips, a few crostini options, lots of fabulous wine and a shit-ton of confetti I’m sure Jenny is packing in her suitcase as we speak, I think this New Years Eve is shaping up to be pretty darn rad.

Stay tuned to see if we are actually able to stay up until midnight.
