New Year's Eve

Well 2007 is coming to an end and 2008 will be beginning in about an hour EST.

It's been a pretty eventful year with all the weddings and the baby to come news.

My husband, son and I are now home in our new PJs (tradition) and have gone through all the rituals for the new year:

1. Blessing all the corners of our home with Holy Water
2. Putting 12 different round fruits on the table
3. Getting the 12 grapes for each person ready to eat
4. Spread out some coins at the entrance of our home
5. Have the money ready to hold in our hands at the stroke of midnight

I think that about covers it. Now we are just hanging around waiting for the new year to come so that we can get some shut eye.

Earlier we went out to dinner at Steak and Ale. We always make reservations because it can get crazy. As always, we stuffed ourselves to the limit. This time my son went with us to the salad bar and had his own plate to bring back to the table (raisins and beets).

Well, this is my last post for 2007. See you in 2008!!!!!!!!
