We hope you had a Happy & safe New Years Eve. We enjoyed a fun night @ home with all the boys, big & small. New Years Eve at our house is not complete without these babies.
You enjoy them on New years Eve, right before you kick off your New Year with the resolution to eat better. Here's the recipe.
Little Smokies
1 pkg. of Little Smokies
1 pkg. of bacon(we like the maple flavor)
1 c. packed brown sugar
1/2 c. of honey
1/2 c. butter
preheat oven to 325.
Cut your pkg. of bacon in half. Wrap a piece of bacon around each smokey. Secure with a toothpick. We always have a few somkies left over/not enough bacon. I throw them in with the others. Place smokies in a 9 X 13 pan. On the stove, melt brown sugar, honey, & butter. Bring it to a slight boil. Pour over smokies & place in oven & bake @ 325 degrees for 1 hour. These are delish. Enjoy!
We had fun playing a few games of CandyLand,

drinking Hot Cocoa, eating Little Smokies & other yummy treats. At 10 pm we turned on The Rockin' New Years Eve show with Dick Clark & Ryan Seacrest. It would not be New Years w/out them. At about 11 pm, this is what was going on
I thought they were all going to wimp out on me & fall asleep. I think John did. I heard him snore. Carter jumped up & started saying "I'm going to make it. I'm going to make it". After that, he was pretty amped to ring in the New Year. We all made it to midnight(Brody & Garrett went to bed @ their normal times).
We watched the ball drop & then we headed outside. We found some of the neighbor girls running up & down the street in their swim suits...do you know how cold it was last night??? Crazy girls. Some of the neighbor boys were running up & down the street, banging their pots & pans. We did our little poppers
& enjoyed a few fireworks that another neighbor set off. It was a festive way to kick off our 2009. Wishing you & yours a Happy New year!
p.s. I just finished putting the last of our Christmas decorations away..WAHOOO! We are free of Christmas decorations, inside & out!

Looks like you guys had fun! T fell asleep around 11pm, and J dozed a little, too, but was up at midnight. We didn't have cool hats like you guys, though! We'll still have to get together soon.
Looks like you had a great time during the Krupp New Year's Eve Celebration. Was a hi-light listening to Lionel?!
It looks like you had a fun party. I'm impressed your boys stayed up.
We all crashed since we had been in 4 airports that day. Jacob is the only one who stayed awake. Jonah woke up in the morning convinced that he got to stay awake that night. OOPS...he had his dates off! I crashed about 9:30, Richard crashed about 7:00!
I am glad y'all had fun.
We're boring. Kiddos were in bed at 8 p.m. and we played a game. All of the fireworks going off woke Matthew up. He was in firework heaven.
Happy New Year!
What a fun new years! My kids all made it too! They had so much fun outside with their pots and wooden spoons! Woo Hoo another recipe!
