Happy New Year everyone! I love celebrating the new year. Great friends, more food than anyone can eat and a killer tradition.
It all started twenty something years ago when my mom saw a report on the news telling how fast a tree could burn. She was curious and the tradition began with her setting a tree on fire next to the dumpster to see how fast it would really burn. Since then it has evolved to a much larger production. The tradition now involves basically blowing up the tree. We wire fireworks on to it and the torch it.
This year was one of the best ever. Nick and Scott found the perfect dry tree, still had lots of needles on it. Scott set the blow torch and whoosh, it went up in flames.
We always end the night with a New Year's kiss and a toast, complete with Martenelli's sparkling cider. It is so much fun to celebrate with my family and friends. I love them all and wish them as well as everyone else a happy, happy new year!

Happy New Year, I am sad that I missed it. I really miss that tradition when I'm gone. I miss you guys too of course. I'm so glad that you are a blogger now!
Love ya!
Ok, so can I just tell you how excited I am that I can get cheap vinyl!?!! ... and that you are going to teach me how to do it! Hahahaha-- so quick question! I have been looking into this Cricut Design Studio Software, and on the website it said something about having to have the cartridges for what you cut. Is that right? Can you only cut out images from cartridges you already have? I guess I'm confused! I thought you bought the software and then you could cut whatever the heck you wanted! Help straighten me out please!! Hahahaha!!!!!!
P.S. It was so good to see you Monday night!
Happy New Year! Happy Blogging! You & Nick are so stinkin' cute together! love it!
