We don't really have
fussy eaters in this
family.
They will eat just about
anything put in
front of them.
However, it is
ALWAYS
fun to do a little
SOMETHING SPECIAL
for them for the
Holidays.
The "tradition",
according to the
Bible of Lulu
(the 9 year old),
is that every
New Year's Eve they
come to our house to
EAT and then they
get to spend the night,
while Mom and Dad
go out to celebrate.
What?
How did THIS get started?
Am I now
TOO OLD
to go out to celebrate?
sigh...
Anyway,
Best to be prepared for the
LITTLE DARLINGS
with some special snacks.
How about a
Snowman Cheese Ball
to start the night off?
Betty Crocker recipe is here.
Hmmmm..what else can I do?
Leave those
kids alone with me and I
will serve them
SHOTS!
Shots like everyone else has
on New Years!
That'll teach them.
Okay-
Maybe we CAN tone it down
a bit.
How about
THIS kind of shot?
I call it
Tomato Soup Shooters!
You find the instructions at Rachel Hollis's site.
And, of course, we must have a few
Ants on a log
(raisins on cream cheese filled celery)
They will love these, too.
Apples cored, sliced sideways,
and topped with peanut butter,
or nutella,
and sprinkled with granola.
So..a few snacks,
a few laughs,
a few games,
and a shot of Tequilla
and those kids will have a
GREAT
New Year's Eve....
okay...just kidding about
the Tequilla.
sigh...
Maybe one for me?
Is it bedtime yet?
