New Year's Eve - Just The 3 Of Us

What is a wonderful way to celebrate the coming of the new year? Japanese hibachi, of course! Doug and I decided to have a quiet New Year's Eve celebration with just Briana this year. It was the first year in many years that we didn't have plans with anyone. Christmas was so busy and so hectic - we were just beat. We ate at a Japanese restaurant, stopped by St*rbucks to get some coffee and Briana a piece of pound cake and then we went home. After Briana fell asleep, Doug and I watched "Get Smart" and then watched the ball drop in NY on TV. It was a great way to ring in the new year.

Here we are getting ready to go to dinner.

This is exciting stuff.

Chopstick fight!

Good gravy, I love hibachi!

The best part is the oranges for dessert.

Hope everyone is having a good 2009 so far. May I just say how nice it is to see all of the Feb 2006 LIDs in my sidebar of this blog with the word "REFERRAL" typed next to them? It is very sweet...

Happy New Year!
I love the outfit (I saw it on Colleen's Hannah and tracked it down) it's the cutest!

I hate NYE plans, I always prefer a quiet evening at home with the family!

We took Kelsey to a Hibachi place last year and she freaked out at the fire volcano and refused to eat or even sit at the table!

Awesome way to ring in the new year! We recently watched Get Smart and I thought it was really funny. It's amazing how much we use Netflix now that Moe's around.

Happy New Year!
